The “Insan” Organization for Rights and Freedoms highly commends the positive step represented by reaching an agreement today, Tuesday, December 23, 2025, to implement a large-scale prisoner exchange deal between Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and other parties. The organization considers this an important humanitarian development that will help alleviate the suffering of thousands of Yemeni families and restore hope to families who have long awaited the return of their loved ones after years of loss, anxiety, and accumulated human pain.

The organization affirms that achieving such agreements reflects the prioritization of the humanitarian dimension and represents tangible progress in a sensitive humanitarian file that has, for years, been one of the most prominent symbols of suffering in Yemen. It also sends a positive message that humanitarian issues can serve as common ground for building trust and opening broader pathways toward de-escalation and peace.

Insan also praises the constructive role of the Sultanate of Oman and its significant efforts in hosting and sponsoring this round, as well as its sincere endeavors that contributed to creating a conducive atmosphere and ensuring the success of the understandings. This reflects Oman’s consistent approach to supporting peace and stability and its enduring commitment to humanitarian solutions that preserve human dignity and mitigate the impacts of conflicts.

The organization hopes that this step will be followed by the full and smooth implementation of the agreement, and that it will be succeeded by additional humanitarian measures that contribute to closing this file comprehensively and ensuring the release of all detainees held in connection with the conflict. This would put an end to the suffering of families and enhance the prospects for building a just and sustainable peace that brings to an end many years of human suffering.
