SHABWA, July 11 (YPA) – A tribal sheikh was subjected to an assassination attempt inside one of Islah Party’s prisons in Shabwa province, eastern Yemen.

Sheikh Sultan Mohsin al-Dabi bin Rashid Al-Numani, who was kidnapped for two days in Islah prisons, was wounded by a shot during an attempt to assassinate him inside al-Khurma prison run by Islah Party, according to local sources.

The sources explained that the Islah militants carried out various types of torture and violations against kidnapped from sons of Shabwa tribes and deprived them of water and food for a period of 24 hours.
