Media sources reveal secret prisons of UAE on Socotra Island 

SOCOTRA, Nov. 03 (YPA) – Media sources have revealed the existence of secret prisons of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in military sites at the airport of Hadibu, the capital of Socotra Island, southern Yemen.

The sources confirmed that the UAE had brought in dozens of foreign mercenaries to work in security companies, some of them Israeli, under the title of the humanitarian field.

The foreign mercenaries work in the UAE military sites, without allowing the people of the island to approach them, the sources explained.

Emirati officers had seized large lands of state property with unofficial contracts from the Land Authority office of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council, according to “Al-Mahriya” TV channel.

The sources stated that the commander of the first battalion that rebelled in the “1st Naval Brigade” of Hadi’s government, called Muhammad Ali, works with the brother of the Emirati ambassador to the Zionist entity, Tariq Mahmoud Al-Khaja, in the purchase of land.

Last week, Al Khaja arrived on Socotra Island for the purpose of opening joint Emirati-Zionist tourism investments on the island.
