Riyadh’s Delegation Obstructs Prisoner Committee’s Work

Local Editor

Riyadh’s delegation hindered the work of the committee on prisoners and detainees for three consecutive days, head of the committee in the national delegation Nasser Baqazqoz said Tuesday.

Baqazqoz explained, in press remarks, that Riyadh delegation’s obstruction to the committee’s work had delayed the release of thousands of captives by both parties.

The talks, which come after two failed attempts in June and December last year in Switzerland, are based on U.N. Security Council resolution which orders the Ansarullah revolutionaries to withdraw and surrender heavy weaponry they had seized.

There has been mounting international pressure to end the Yemen conflict that the United Nations estimates has killed more than 6,400 people and displaced 2.8 million since March last year.
