Arturo Zacarias Meza was released by Houthi rebels in Yemen after over a year of captivity and was welcomed home by his community in Misantla, Mexico. Zacarias recounted the harrowing experience of the ship's seizure, the Houthis' stated motives, and the eventual release mediated by Oman.
Escoltado por vecinos en bicicletas y en autos que esperaban su llegada a las afueras de su ciudad natal en México, Arturo Zacarías Meza regresó a casa días después de que los rebeldes hutíes de Yemen lo dejasen en libertad a él y a sus compañeros de tripulación tras más de un año de cautiverio.
Los hutíes dijeron que secuestraron el Galaxy Leader por su conexión con Israel. El ataque puso en marcha la campaña de los rebeldes contra buques que transitaban por aguas internacionales en el mar Rojo, el golfo de Adén y el estrecho de Bab el-Mandeb que los conecta. El mercante, con bandera de Bahamas, está vinculado a un multimillonario israelí, Abraham “Rami” Ungar, conocido como uno de los hombres más ricos de Israel.
