To the United Nations Secretary-General: Following the announcement of the death of UN staff member Mohammed Al-Shami in detention in Sana’a, the United Nations issued statements of condemnation, calling for an investigation into the circumstances of his death and the release of the remaining detainees. But the question is: What have you done to protect your staff and humanitarian workers throughout these years? Statements of condemnation did not prevent Mohammed Al-Shami’s death, nor will they protect those who remain in detention. These UN staff members and humanitarian workers were arbitrarily detained because of their work with the United Nations. The authorities in Sana’a are directly responsible for their safety, but the United Nations also has a moral and institutional responsibility to protect them. My husband, Dr. Ali Ahmed Almudhwahi, has been unjustly and arbitrarily detained since June 8, 2024, for defending the continuation of childhood vaccination programs to protect children from disease. Has defending children’s health become a crime? Nearly two years and six months later, he continues to face this ordeal alone, denied family visits, and we have not heard his voice in almost three months. What have you done for him? We live in constant anxiety and fear for his life and safety. We urgently demand that he be allowed to call us so we can hear his voice and know that he is safe. We also call for concrete action to protect all detainees, verify their health conditions, enable communication with their families, and secure their immediate and unconditional release. We do not want to wait for another tragedy to hear yet another statement of condemnation. Please act before it is too late. #الحرية_لعلي_المضواحي #متى_يرجع_بابا #FreedomForAliAlmudhwahi @antonioguterres @volker_turk @UNHumanRights @WHO @WHOEMRO @OSE_Yemen @hrw @amnesty @UN_Spokesperson
