Top US lawmakers lambaste Iran-backed Houthis after detaining of Embassy staff
“Breaching the sovereign territory of a foreign embassy and threatening and detaining its staff clearly demonstrate the Houthis have no interest in peace, nor in making the changes necessary to become legitimate members of the international community,” the lawmakers said Friday.
Congressmen Gregory Meeks and Michael McCaul, along with Senators Bob Menendez and Jim Risch, released a statement condemning the recent breach of the US Embassy in Sanaa and the detainment of US Embassy employees.
Al Arabiya English reported on Thursday that the US State Department was working to secure the release of embassy employees and other Yemeni nationals employed by the US.
“We are deeply concerned by reports that the Houthis have breached our embassy compound in Sana’a and detained and harassed a number of US locally employed staff and former staff employed by the United Nations. Such acts violate international law and basic principles of human rights, and must not be tolerated,” the lawmakers wrote.
Bloomberg reported that at least 25 Yemenis were detained by the Houthis in recent weeks, citing two people familiar with the matter.
