The UN is sending a mission to Yemen on Monday to examine the human rights
situation, amid persistent popular protests calling for the ouster of President
Ali Abdullah Saleh, a spokeswoman said Friday.
"We will be deploying a mission to Yemen, an assessment mission to Yemen
beginning on Monday. This will be a 10-day mission and a team of three from our
office will be going," said Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman at the UN human
rights office.
"The mission's goal is basically to assess... as you know information that's
coming from Yemen has been really difficult to independently verify... the main
goal of the mission is to go and assess the situation," she added.
