Southern activist held in UAE secret prisons in Aden released

ADEN, July 15 (YPA) – The UAE occupation forces on Sunday released the kidnapped southern activist, Ansam Abdul-Samad, after a year of the forced disappearance in one of their secret prisons in the city of Aden.

Abdul-Samad, the Criminal Investigation employee in Aden, was arrested in mid-September last year, by raiding her house, and confiscating her personal and personal devices, according to southern media sources.

She remained hidden for almost a year, while her relatives could not reach her, and no charges have been brought against her, the sources added.

The UAE forces are practicing a policy of repression and arrest against all opponents of their policies in the southern provinces, including young activists, who are arrested and held in secret prisons in the city of Aden.

The US Associated Press revealed, in a press report last month, about secret prisons run by UAE officers in Yemen, which amount to more than 18 detainees and secret prisons throughout the southern provinces, where hundreds of detainees are being held and tortured.

Amnesty International on Thursday accused UAE forces of torturing detainees through a network of secret prisons in Yemen’s southern provinces, calling for an investigation into these violations as war crimes.
