聯合國稱葉門籍員工死於胡塞組織拘押期間，要求展開調查

10月31日（路透）— 聯合國人權事務主管週六表示，一名聯合國人權事務高級專員辦事處（UN Human Rights Office）的葉門籍員工在遭任意拘押兩年多後，死於胡塞組織拘押期間。他呼籲展開獨立調查，並釋放其他遭拘押人員。Oct 31 (Reuters) - A Yemeni staff member of the UN Human Rights Office has died in Houthi custody after being arbitrarily detained for more than two years, the UN human rights chief said on Saturday, calling for an independent investigation and the release of other detained personnel.

• 聯合國人權事務高級專員圖克（Volker Turk）在聲明中表示，穆罕默德・艾爾沙米（Mohammad el Shami）自2024年6月6日起遭胡塞武裝組織拘押。• Mohammad el Shami had been held by the Houthi militant group since June 6, 2024, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk said in a statement.

• 圖克表示，艾爾沙米的家人說，他們直到最近才獲知他的死訊，距離他死亡已超過一個月，且未獲說明死因或相關情況。• His family said they had been informed of his death only recently, more than a month after it occurred, and had received no explanation of the cause or circumstances, Turk said.

• 圖克呼籲迅速、獨立且徹底調查此事，並要求胡塞組織立即、無條件釋放所有其他遭拘押的聯合國人員，包括他辦公室的7名同事，以及人道工作者和公民社會人士。• Turk called for a prompt, independent and thorough investigation, and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all other UN personnel held by the Houthis, including seven colleagues from his office, as well as humanitarian workers and civil society members.

• 葉門總理譴責艾爾沙米之死，認定胡塞組織應負全責，並呼籲追究相關責任人。他說，目前仍有70多名聯合國員工和數十名人道工作者遭拘押。• Yemen's prime minister condemned the death, held the Houthis fully responsible and called for those responsible to be held accountable. He said more than 70 UN employees and dozens of humanitarian workers remained detained.

• 胡塞組織未立即發表評論。該組織曾表示，遭拘押者是為美國和以色列工作的間諜網路成員。該組織也指控人道組織以工作作為情報活動的掩護，但未提出證據。• There was no immediate comment from the Houthis. The group has said those detained were part of a spy network working for the United States and Israel. The group has also accused humanitarian organisations of using their work as cover for intelligence activities, without providing evidence.

• 胡塞組織2014年奪取首都沙那，促使沙烏地阿拉伯主導的軍事干預於2015年展開，以支持葉門受國際承認的政府。此後，衝突使葉門陷入分裂：胡塞組織控制沙那及北部、西北部大部分地區，而親政府部隊掌控南部和東部大部分地區。• The Houthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015 in support of Yemen's internationally recognised government. The conflict has since divided the country, with the Houthis holding Sanaa and much of the north and northwest, while government-aligned forces control much of the south and east.
