Yemen declares UN human rights representative persona non grata

Yemen's foreign ministry has declared the representative of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights persona non grata after what it said were unfair statements, a news agency run by the Saudi-allied government reported on Thursday.

The news agency, sabanew.net, quoted an official source as saying that the representative had "lost professionalism and is persona non grata".

The location of the representative was not immediately clear.

The UN spokesman described the decision as "an extremely regrettable development."

George Abu al-Zulof, the head of the UN human rights office in Yemen, "has been doing an excellent job," spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Thursday.
