The Yemeni presidency has condemned restrictions imposed by the Southern Transitional Council (STC) on movement to Aden, calling them a violation of the constitution.
The restrictions, which include preventing citizens from entering Aden and detaining travelers, contravene the Riyadh Agreement and international human rights laws.
The presidency has received reports of arrests and abductions in Aden, allegedly ordered by STC security forces, and warns that such actions undermine social peace and exacerbate humanitarian suffering.
The STC is urged to lift restrictions and respect state institutions' authority, avoiding unilateral actions that harm public interests.
