Sanaa, March 16 (Xinhua) -- The Shiite Houthi group, who controls the Yemeni capital Sanaa, on Monday released Yemeni Prime Minister Khaled Bahah and cabinet members after almost two months of house arrest, a government spokesman said.

"The release came after efforts exerted by U.N. envoy to Yemen Jamal Benomar and weeks-long national campaigns by the political parties and non-governmental organizations," Spokesman Rajeh Badi told Xinhua.
