Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Abo Bakr Al-Qirbi, in a statement to the press last week confirmed that the Yemeni businessman Abdulsalaam al-Helah, who disappeared mysteriously last year from Egypt, appears to be imprisoned in Afghanistan.
The Minister confirmed that the Yemeni Embassy in Pakistan has received a letter from al-Helah stating that he is being held in a prison in Afghanistan. The Minister pointed out that the Ministry is currently making enquiries regarding his situation.
The letter states also that al-Helah was transferred from Egypt to Afghanistan by an anonymous authority and that it was only after four months that he realized he was being held in Afghanistan.
