As the United Nations marked the International Day of Solidarity with Detained and Missing Staff on 25 March, United Nations personnel continued to be arrested and detained by the authorities, at times without any reason given for their detention.  At the same time, they continued to be abducted by armed groups seeking to assert their power or to exert pressure.
