Al-Murtadha refutes pro-coalition media allegations on death of prisoner Sami Al-Watiri

SANAA, July 30 (YPA) -The head of the National Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs, Abdulqadir Al-Murtadha, refuted the Saudi-led coalition’s mercenaries’ allegations about the prisoner Sami Al-Watiri, affirming that he is fine and the mercenaries’ claims that he was tortured to death are not true.

In a statement on his twitter, Al-Murtadha said that the prisoner Al-Watiri is super healthy, and a short while ago he contacted his family and assured them that he is fine.

Al-Murtadha explained that the fake news published by pro-coalition mercenaries comes within the framework of covering up the crimes they commit against prisoners and detainees.

He called for the formation of a committee from the United Nations to visit the prisons of each party and expose the treatment of our prisoners and the other side to put an end to violations to which prisoners are subjected to.

Al-Murtadha further called on the United Nations to form a committee to investigate these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.
