The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has condemned the Houthi militia’s seizure of the US Embassy compound in Sana’a, which was used before the embassy suspended its work in 2015.
In the incident, the embassy properties were looted and vandalized , in addition to detaining and ill-treating many Yemeni employees and members of their families, who continued to provide attention to the US Embassy after its work was suspended.
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry’s official spokesperson, Haitham Abu Al-Foul, expressed the Kingdom’s condemnation and denunciation of these acts and practices, which are a “flagrant” violation of diplomatic laws and customs, and a “heinous” attack on the sanctity of diplomatic missions’ buildings and immunity.
Abu-Foul stressed the need for the “immediate and safe” release of all detainees, to leave the embassy compound, and return what was looted.
