STC factions kidnap activist Al-Tamimi in Mukalla city

HADRAMOUT, Oct. 31 (YPA) – The UAE-backed factions kidnapped a media activist in the city of Mukalla, the center of Hadramout governorate, due to publications in which he criticized the corruption in the governorate.

Human rights sources in the city reported that armed elements in the factions affiliated with the UAE kidnapped activist Al-Waleed bin Shamlan Al-Tamimi at a checkpoint in the center of Mukalla and took him to the “Criminal Investigation” prison.

The sources attributed the kidnapping of Al-Tamimi to a report filed by a member of the so-called “Leadership Council”, Vice President of the Southern Transitional Council Faraj Al-Bahsani, as a result of previous publication cases of the activist on the “Facebook” page.

It is noteworthy that Al-Tamimi was kidnapped for the second time after his kidnapping at the end of August 2023 under the direction of Al-Bahsani due to posts in which he criticized the horrific corruption in the governorate.

Al-Tamimi had confirmed in his posts during the past year that Al-Bahsani’s harm extended to his family, psychological and material life.
