The UN's human rights chief on Friday demanded that the Houthis return the body of a Yemeni staff member who died in their custody. Mohammed al-Shami had been held by the Houthis since June 6, 2024, and his family learned of his death on October 30, more than a month after it occurred. The family has received no explanation of the cause or circumstances of his death. In a message, the family wrote that the truth about his fate must not be allowed to disappear from the world.
