The United Nations has demanded an immediate, independent, and thorough investigation into the death of Mohammad el-Shami, a Yemeni employee of the UN Human Rights Office, who died while in the custody of the Houthi rebels in Yemen. El-Shami had been arbitrarily detained since June 2024. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, described his death as 'devastating' and called for full transparency and accountability. This is the second such death of a UN staff member in Houthi detention.
