也门胡塞武装释放了其近期拘留的159人，国际红十字会（ICRC）周六表示。国际红十字会表示，这项单方面释放由萨那当局在其支持下实施。
Yemen’s Houthi group released 159 people it recently detained, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Saturday. The ICRC said the unilateral release was carried out by authorities in Sanaa with its support.
其代表在释放前对被拘留者进行了面谈，通知了其家属，并为其回家提供了援助。
Its delegates interviewed the detainees before their release, informed their families and provided assistance for their return home.
医疗团队还评估了他们的健康状况及是否适合公路旅行，并为需要的人安排了额外的旅行支持。
Medical teams also assessed their health and fitness for road travel and arranged additional travel support for those who needed it.
国际红十字会表示，此次释放由胡塞武装附属的囚犯事务国家委员会发起，不属于斯德哥尔摩协议范畴，并强调其未参与确定释放谁或释放多少人。
The release was initiated by the Houthi-affiliated National Committee for Prisoners Affairs and does not fall under the Stockholm Agreement, the ICRC said, stressing that it played no role in determining who or how many people would be released.
斯德哥尔摩协议于2018年12月在瑞典达成，在联合国主持下，由也门国际公认政府与胡塞武装达成。
The Stockholm Agreement was reached in Sweden in December 2018 under UN auspices between Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the Houthis.
胡塞武装周五表示，被拘留者是在“最近事件中未作战斗而自愿投降”的囚犯。该组织表示，他们正在根据其最高政治委员会主席马赫迪·马沙特签发的大赦令获释，地方当局将协调他们返回家人和家乡地区。
The Houthis said on Friday the detainees were prisoners who “voluntarily surrendered without fighting during the recent events.”The group said they were being released under an amnesty issued by Mahdi al-Mashat, head of its Supreme Political Council, and that local authorities would coordinate their return to their families and home areas.
此次释放发生在胡塞武装与也门国际公认政府支持的部队之间重新爆发战斗之际，后者由沙特领导的联盟支持。
The release comes amid renewed fighting between the Houthis and forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition.
胡塞武装自2014年以来一直控制着首都萨那以及也门北部和西部的大片地区，而沙特领导的联盟于2015年介入冲突，支持国际公认政府。
The Houthis have controlled the capital Sanaa and large parts of northern and western Yemen since 2014, while the Saudi-led coalition intervened in the conflict in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
