Family of Ahmed Al Kunue, the southern activist in the Yemeni jails, said that they were informed by the Central Prison's administration of the Yemeni capital (Sana'a) that Ahmed Al Kunue was released.

Al Kunue was arrested on May 27, 2009, in Khormaksar city in Aden.

Al Kunue was previously taken to the prison of the Political Security, later he was transferred to the Central Prison in Sana'a.

The release of Al Kunue ends the long story of the Southern Movement's captives in the Yemeni jails, with the exceptions of the sons of the Brigadier General Sa;eh Tamah and the sons of the leader of the only armed Southern Movement's faction Seru Hemiar Battalions, Taher Tamah, in addition to Bagash Al Aghbari, who is in prison since the nineteen nineties, because of leading a faction against the unity of Yemen.
