联合国表示,它下周将派遣一个使团去也门,调查人权问题。
联合国星期五表示,这个3人代表团星期一将抵达也门展开为期10天的真相调查使命。联合国说,该组织将试图评估这个动荡国家的局势。与此同时,也门各派系正在争夺权力,而伊斯兰激进分子正频繁袭击政府的安全部队。
也门总统萨利赫由于最近在也门总统府遭受炸弹袭击时受伤,目前正在沙特阿拉伯养伤。数以千计的也门人在过去几个月的抗议活动中呼吁他下台。这些抗议活动已转变为暴力事件。安全部队自从1月以来已打死至少200人。
联合国说,这个代表团将会见也门政府当局、人权活动人士、反对派成员和侵犯人权事件中的受害者。该代表团还计划访问医疗和拘留中心。联合国一位女发言人说,有关官员希望该使团将对政府提出建议。
The United Nations says it is sending a mission to Yemen next week to look at human rights issues.
The U.N. said Friday the three-member delegation would arrive in Yemen on Monday for a 10-day fact-finding mission. The U.N. said the group would attempt to assess the state of affairs in the turbulent country as various factions vie for power and Islamic militants stage frequent attacks on government security forces.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh is recovering in Saudi Arabia from a recent bomb attack he sustained in the Yemeni presidential compound. Thousands of Yemenis have called for his ouster over the last several months in protests that have turned violent. Security forces have killed at least 200 people since January.
The U.N. said the delegation would meet with government authorities, rights activists, members of the opposition and victims of human rights violations. The group also is planning visits to medical and detention centers.
A U.N. spokeswoman said officials hope the mission will produce recommendations for the government.
