CAIRO-SABA
Yemen's Minister of Human Rights has acquainted the UN special envoy to Yemen Ismaiil Ould Cheikh Ahmed about the Houthi rebels' violations of human rights in the country.

The minister, Mohammed Askar, met the UN envoy in Cairo today. Askar gave the envoy an account on how the rebel Houthi militias' crimes are affecting the humanitarian and economic situations of the Yemeni population.

The continuity of such violations will lead to a new social reality and too complicated humanitarian situation, Askar said.
Askar presented to the UN envoy a copy of his ministry's latest report on human rights violations.

Akar especially underlined the rebels' massacres against civilians in Taiz city in the last three months as well as the suffering of the kidnapped and forcibly disappeared persons in the militias' jails.

Askar called on the UN envoy to provide more training support to Yemen to enable the achieving of a quality partnership with the civil society, the cornerstone for building any civil state.

The envoy showed his readiness to help in the civil society institutions training toward achieving a real partnership, noting his understanding of the ongoing violations, a result of the ongoing conflict.
