For more than a year, our colleagues have remained victims of arbitrary detention in Sana'a…

For more than a year, our colleagues have been held behind unknown prison bars, based on false claims and unfounded evidence, facing an uncertain and obscure fate.

More than a year of their lives has passed, without return… a year of isolation, oppression, injustice, and loss. Their days pass quickly, while their lives are stolen away without value or compensation.

More than a year… families — fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, children — have been suffering in pain and longing for their loved ones. A year in which they have knocked on all possible doors, both official and unofficial, without any response, without clarification, and without any measures to restore their right to knowledge and reassurance.

More than a year… the detainees, their families, and their colleagues have been consumed by grief and anguish over charges extracted under duress — charges that wound their dignity, tarnish their reputation as humanitarian workers, and target their noble mission of serving Yemen and the Yemenis.

Enforced disappearance and detentions in which the most basic rights are stripped away have led to a tragic deterioration of our detained colleagues’ physical and mental health, amid deafening silence, gross neglect, and practices that violate their very humanity.

Release our colleagues who are arbitrarily detained.
