Yemeni Journalists Syndicate (YJS) has reiterated demand for immediate release of 17 journalists abducted by the militias of Houthis and ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh, and of the colleague Mohammed al-Moqri al-Qaeda has kidnapped for more than a year and three months in southern port city of Mukalla.
In a statement issued on Sunday afternoon, YJS said over a year has passed since the colleague Abdullah al-Munifi and the media activist Hussein al-Issa have been kidnapped by Saleh-Houthi militias while they were doing their job in the city of Dhamar about 100 miles south of Yemen’s rebel-held capital Sana’a.
Al-Munifi and al-Issa, who have been transferred to the capital Sanaa, have been kept in different detention facilities of the militias, which have subjected them to different forms of abuses in a flagrant violation of both local and international humanitarian laws, explained the statement.
According to the statement, the continuing abduction of journalists is a crime against humanity whose perpetrators will never go unpunished as there is no statute of limitations.
