GENEVA, Nov 13 (Reuters) – The UN’s human rights chief on Friday demanded the return of the body of a Yemeni staff member of his office who died of unknown causes weeks ago after being held in Houthi custody for more than two years.
Mohammad el Shami’s family learned of his death on October 30, more than a month after it occurred, but they have received no explanation of the cause or circumstances. El Shami had been held by the Houthi group since June 6, 2024.
