President Al-Zubaidi meets the Community Committee for releasing detainees of latest events in Aden

The President of the Southern Transitional Council, President Aidrous Qasim Al-Zubaidi, received on Wednesday, the Community Committee for the release of detainees of the recent events in Aden.

President Al-Zubaidi listened from the Head of the Committee, Sheikh Nasser Ali Al-Shamiri, to a summary of the actions taken by the Committee in this regard with the related parties in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross, providing to the president lists of detainees names of both sides, and explaining the obstacles the committee faced by one of the parties to obstruct implementation of the exchange process.

President Al-Zubaidi clarified that hundreds of them have been already released, and only very few of them remained, stressing that "the Transitional Council does not deal with the arrested in the events as detainees, because we see that we are one southern people, and we are all by one side, which is the side of the South".

President Al-Zubaidi stressed on his instructions of releasing the remains directly upon the agreement of the other side to release who are with them, assuring on working with the Arab coalition leadership to put pressure on the other party to make the committee humanitarian initiative a success.

The Head and members of the Committee appreciated the great response of President Al-Zubaidi for supporting their initiative and efforts to improve the conditions of southern detainees in Aden, Shabwa and Abyan, pledging to continue their humanitarian efforts.
