联合国秘书长谴责联合国人权工作人员穆罕默德·沙米在也门胡塞武装实际控制当局羁押期间死亡,并呼吁立即、公正、透明且彻底地调查其死亡的相关情况。
The United Nations Secretary-General has condemned the death of a UN human rights staff member, Mohammad el Shami, while in the custody of Houthi de facto authorities in Yemen, and called for an immediate, impartial, transparent and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
据秘书长发言人归属的一份声明,联合国负责人表示,他对这位联合国同事的去世“感到震惊并予以谴责”,该同事曾在联合国人权事务高级专员办事处(OHCHR)任职。
声明补充说,沙米自2024年6月6日起被胡塞武装实际控制当局任意拘留。联合国称也门籍工作人员在胡塞武装羁押中死亡,要求调查秘书长向死者家属及其在人权高专办的同事致以“最深切的慰问”,同时向所有被拘留的联合国同事及其家属表示声援。

声明称,沙米死亡的相关情况仍不清楚,并指出自2024年6月被拘留以来,尽管联合国多次提出请求,胡塞武装实际控制当局既未提供关于其健康状况的信息,也未提供其生存证明。
The circumstances surrounding El Shami's death remain unclear, the statement said, adding that since his detention in June 2024, the Houthi de facto authorities had provided neither information about his well-being nor proof of life, despite repeated requests from the United Nations."
声明说:“联合国正紧急要求实际控制当局就其死亡情况作出解释。”
The United Nations is urgently seeking answers from the de facto authorities about the circumstances of his death," the statement said.
秘书长呼吁对该死亡事件进行“立即、公正、透明且彻底的调查”。联合国人权理事会的公信力建立在公正无私之上:印度声明指出,这是第二名联合国工作人员在胡塞武装实际控制当局羁押期间死亡,此前一名世界粮食计划署同事于2025年2月去世。
The Secretary-General called for an "immediate, impartial, transparent and thorough investigation" into the death. Credibility of UN Human Rights Council rests on even-handedness: IndiaThe statement noted that this was the second death of a United Nations staff member in detention by the Houthi de facto authorities, following the death of a World Food Programme colleague in February 2025.
秘书长将这一事件描述为联合国和人道主义人员面临严重风险的痛苦提醒,并表示仍有多名人员被任意拘留,有的已长达数年。“他们持续被拘留是不可接受的,并造成声明说:“这给他们及其家人带来了巨大的痛苦。”秘书长还回顾指出,所有被剥夺自由的人必须受到人道待遇,其固有尊严和人权必须得到尊重。声明强调,行使羁押权的当局对被羁押人员的保护和安全负有全部责任,并须确保他们获得医疗救治,维护其身心健康。联合国调查称俄罗斯以攻击乌克兰能源设施构成战争罪;莫斯科以“伪造数据”为由驳回报告秘书长进一步对70名联合国人员、5名前联合国工作人员,以及人道主义和民间社会组织人员仍被拘留的安全和福祉表示严重关切。他重申呼吁“立即无条件释放”他们。
Describing the incident as a painful reminder of the grave risks faced by UN and humanitarian personnel, the Secretary-General said that several personnel remained arbitrarily detained, some for years." Their continued detention is unacceptable and causes immense suffering to them and their families," the statement said. The Secretary-General also recalled that all persons deprived of their liberty must be treated humanely and with respect for their inherent dignity and human rights. It emphasised that authorities exercising custody bear full responsibility for the protection and safety of detained individuals, as well as ensuring their access to medical care and safeguarding their physical and psychological well-being.UN probe says Russia committed war crimes by targeting Ukraine energy sites; Moscow dismisses report with ‘falsified data’ remarkThe Secretary-General further expressed grave concern over the safety and well-being of 70 United Nations personnel, five former UN staff members, and personnel from humanitarian and civil society organisations who remain detained. He reiterated his call for their "immediate and unconditional release".
