Lahj: Wemen stage protest against continued detention of teachers in Al-Maqatirah district

LAHJ, Sept. 22 (YPA) – Al-Maqatirah district in Lahj province, southern Yemen, witnessed on Thursday a protest by dozens of women who demanded immediate release of 25 teachers from their families, who have been held in secret prisons for more than two months, by Fourth Mountain Infantry Brigade forces loyal to the Saudi-led coalition.

The women’s protest denounced the arrest of teachers by the Islah forces in Tur al-Baha district without any legal justification.

The pro-Islah forces arrested a number of teachers in late July, which caused the suspension of the educational process in a number of schools as a result, while residents continue to stage several vigils to demand their release.
