Several of freed coalition prisoners return to capital Sanaa

SANAA, Oct. 19 (YPA) – A number of released prisoners of Saudi-led coalition forces on Monday returned to the capital Sanaa, days after their release, as part of the recent prisoner exchange between Sanaa government and the coalition.

Local sources in Marib province reported that a number of prisoners of the coalition forces announced their return to Sanaa days after their arrival in the city of Sayoun as part of a prisoner exchange deal between the army and the popular committees on the one hand and the coalition and its mercenary militias on the other hand.

The sources indicated that the freed coalition prisoners’ decision came after the good treatment they received in the capital Sanaa, while the coalition forces had targeted them in many places of their detention.

In turn, Ali bin Mohsin Salah, one of officers of the so-called “Genera Staff” of “Hadi’s forces”, revealed in a series of posts on his Facebook page on Sunday that five freed prisoners of the coalition forces returned to the capital Sanaa one day after their arrival in Marib city coming from Sayoun city of Hadramout province.

Salah added sarcastically, “it seems that the prisoners who fled Marib knew that Sanaa government had decided to marry off their freed prisoners, so they went to Sanaa to get married.”
