U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres expressed grave concern and condemned Houthi de facto authorities for referring detained U.N. personnel to a special criminal court.
Court procedures for the staff began in Sanaa on Tuesday, marking a severe escalation in the Houthis' crackdown on international aid workers in Yemen. Guterres called on the de facto authorities to rescind the referral and immediately release all detained personnel.
