SANA'A, Feb. 28 (Saba) - Yemen demanded on Sunday UNESCO to help to return a looted Yemeni bronze ibex exhibited in French and Japanese museums by a Qatari prince. 

 

The move made by General Secretariat of the National Commission for UNESCO Ahmed Alrebaie, who sent a letter to Director of UNESCO regional office in Doha Anna Paolini. 

 

In the letter, al-Rebaie called on UNESCO and the International Interpol to play their humanitarian role and to take the required international legal measures against those responsible for smuggling and exhibiting the bronze ibex "Athtar", which has been looted from the "Maryamah" site in Harib area of Marib province.
