🚨🇾🇪 They arrested him. They hid him. They let him die. And the world shrugged. 🇺🇳 Mohammed Ibrahim al-Shami worked for the UN Human Rights Office in Yemen. The Houthis seized him, disappeared him for more than two years, and he died in their custody. His family learned he was gone more than a month after the fact. Yemen's Prime Minister @Shaya_Zindani confirmed it. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk called it "utterly devastating." Statements were issued. Al-Shami is still dead. He is one of three, and the record is public. Ahmed Zaed Sultan Hamid Mohammed, a @WFP employee since 2017, was taken on January 23, 2025. By February 10 he was dead. Three weeks. In 2023, Hisham al-Hakimi of Save the Children was arrested in September and dead by October 25. Different agencies. Different years. Same outcome, and no one has been held accountable for any of it. Right now, Ali al-Mudhwahi, a @UNICEF consultant, sits in custody with diabetes and hepatitis B contracted in detention, denied proper medical care, according to his wife. He is one of at least 73 UN staff still held as of early 2026, per @hrw, along with dozens more aid workers and diplomatic mission personnel. Every one of the UN staff is Yemeni. Four colleagues from @UNHumanRights and UNESCO have been cut off from the outside world since 2021 and 2023. These arrests are organized, repeated and documented: — May 31, 2024: coordinated raids. Thirteen UN staff and at least 50 civil society workers taken. — January 2025: another sweep. Eight more UN staff. — August 31, 2025: armed men storm @WFP and @UNICEF offices and seize at least 21 more. 🔴 Now: Terrorist Houthi authorities are prosecuting detained aid workers and branding humanitarian organizations as spies. @amnesty demanded an investigation after the WFP employee died in custody in February 2025. Twenty months later, there are still no answers. No indictments. No consequences. The same Iran-backed militia that is throttling aid deliveries, striking civilians and threatening international shipping lanes is arresting the very people sent to feed Yemeni children, and three of them have now died in its custody. @antonioguterres and @UN have been issuing statements for five years. Their own staff are in Houthi prisons, and the UN has secured almost no releases. To the international community, especially the United States 🇺🇸 @StateDept @SecRubio: if there is no cost attached to this, it will continue. Free every detainee. Name those responsible. Prosecute them. Secure Bab al-Mandab. Build a real coalition that deters the Houthis and supports Yemen’s legitimate government. How long does a pattern of disappearance, neglect and death have to run before "utterly devastating" becomes a demand for accountability instead of another press release? 🔴 Three men are dead. THE SILENCE IS THE SCANDAL!!!
