Captive Saudi Soldier Hails Yemeni Forces Treatment
Yemeni media have released footage of Saudi soldier, Sergeant Faez Mufarrah Abdullah al-Asmari, taken captive in the al-Hathireh military base of Jizan on October 1.
Yemen’s al-Masirah news agency released footage of the Saudi soldier being treated and interviewed on Saturday.
In his remarks, Asmari reassured his family about his health and well-being, saying the Yemenis have met all his needs.
The Saudi sergeant said he was injured in the head during his capture, but the Yemenis have fully tended to him and helped his recovery, adding that he is in good condition now.
Asmari further called on the Saudi forces to renounce war and aggression as Yemen and Saudi Arabia are neighbors and have religious affinities.
In September, Yemeni media broadcast similar video footage of some Saudi soldiers whom the Yemeni army, with the support of the popular committees, had taken captive during clashes on the border with Saudi Arabia.
