Yemeni journalist Naseh Shaker was scheduled to travel to Beirut on 21 November, 2023, to participate in a training session, but he never arrived. His last communication with his family was 19 November. Since then, Shaker has been subjected to enforced disappearance, as the authorities have refused to disclose his whereabouts.

Read the letter in English and Arabic.
