Radar calls UN to move to save detainees’ lives in UAE-run prisons in Aden

SANAA, July 18 (YPA) – Geneva-based Rights Radar foundation in the Arab world called on the United Nations on Thursday to take urgent action to save dozens of detainees in the UAE occupation-run prisons and its militias in Yemen’s southern province of Aden.

The organization said in a statement that many of detainees were forced to go on hunger strike to draw the world’s attention to their forgotten cause after facing the most severe torture by jailers.

“The UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths must move urgently to release and end the suffering of dozens of detainees in Bir Ahmed prison in al-Mansoura district,” Radar demanded.

The organization called on the UN to probe in crimes and violations committed by the UAE against detainees, which led to die and injury tens of them in the jails.

The detainees published several written massages expressing a state of severe torture against the prisoners.
