The Association of Abductees’ Mothers strongly condemns and expresses its outrage at the obstruction of international efforts aimed at releasing the forcibly abducted, hidden, and arbitrarily detained individuals, which was supposed to convene this week in Jordan following the disruption of the round scheduled for November last year. This irresponsible behavior undermines the fundamental values of human rights and hinders all efforts towards achieving peace and stability in Yemen.
We emphasize the basic rights of our abducted, hidden, and arbitrarily detained sonsright- the right to life and freedem, guaranteed to everyone.
We call on the international community to seriously confront these practices that violate human rights, exert pressure on all parties to fully cooperate with international and regional efforts for the immediate release of the abducted, hidden, and arbitrarily detained individuals, and ensure their safety.
We urge the international community to adopt stringent measures to prevent human rights violations and ensure full protection for civilians in Yemen. We stress that the continuation of kidnapping, forced disappearance, arbitrary detention, and procrastination in resolving the humanitarian issue of the abductees exacerbates the humanitarian suffering of our sons in jails.
We reaffirm the necessity of resuming political negotiations and working towards achieving comprehensive peace in Yemen, with the issue of the abducted, hidden, and arbitrarily detained individuals being a top priority.
