Horrific patterns of torture catalogued in Yemen’s unofficial prisons
More than 1,000 people have been arbitrarily detained and hundreds tortured by Yemen's warring parties, finds a new report.
Yemen’s warring parties are using secret prisons to disappear and torture detainees, according to a grim new report from a leading human rights group.
The Mwatana Organization for Human Rights documented 1,605 cases of arbitrary detention, 770 cases of forced disappearance and 344 cases of torture at 11 detention centers across Yemen since 2016. Some of the abuse may amount to war crimes, the group said.
