During the seizure, embassy property was looted and
vandalized, in addition to detaining and mis-treating many Yemeni employees and
members of their families, who continued to provide attention to the US embassy
after its work was suspended.
In a statement Saturday, the ministry's official
spokesperson, Haitham Abul Foul, expressed the Kingdom's condemnation and
denunciation of these acts and practices, which are a "flagrant"
violation of diplomatic laws and customs, and a "heinous" attack on
the sanctity of diplomatic missions' buildings and immunity.
Abul Foul stressed the need for the "immediate and
safe" release of all detainees, to leave the embassy compound, and return
what was looted.
