Head of the Prisoners’ Committee in Sana’a, Abdulqadir Al-Murtadha, said on Friday that the Saudi-led coalition factions in Ma’rib province foiled the agreed-upon prison visits, which were scheduled to start Saturday, May 20.
In a posting on his Twitter account, Al-Murtadha stated that Sana’a was ready to carry out the prison visit tomorrow, Saturday, as planned, but was startled by the preconditions placed by pro-coalition factions in Ma’rib, which forced the visits to be postponed indefinitely.
كنا جاهزين لتنفيذ الزيارات للسجون غداً السبت حسب ماتم الاتفاق عليه وحسب الموعد المحدد من الأمم المتحدة ،لكن تفاجئنا بشروط مسبقة وضعها مرتزقة العدوان في مأرب أدت إلى تأجيل هذه الزيارات إلى موعد غير محدد.
نحن نعتبر هذه التصرفات عرقلة واضحة هدفها إفشال الزيارات وبالتالي إفشال جولة…— عبدالقادر المرتضى (@abdulqadermortd) May 19, 2023
He saw these actions as a blatant attempt to derail the visit agreement and consequently the next round of negotiations.
Al-Murtadha called on the United Nations to put an end to this obstruction and oblige all parties to sign and execute the agreement.
