The Ministry urged the immediate release of al-Qurabi, saying he suffers from chronic health problems that require continuous care.
Saudi Arabia’s Al-Arabyia TV said Yemeni forces arrested al-Qurabi as he was attempting to cross the Yemen-Oman border and said he is suspected of supporting the Houthis.
