Alkarama welcomes the release of Mohammad Muthana Al Ammari by the Yemeni authorities on 30 September 2014, 10 months after he finished serving his two-year prison sentence for participating in demonstrations.
Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the Special Rapporteur against Torture concerning two French-Tunisians, Aissaoui Taha and Ben Ayed Mourad, arrested and secretly detained in Yemen since May 2014.
On 24 June 2014, Alkarama submitted a communication to the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearance regarding the case of Jamil Al Dabibi, a young father of four, who used to work as a mechanic and motorcycle-taxi driver.
Alkarama referred to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, the case of Tariq Saeed Abdullah Saleh Alamoodi, arrested on September 2012 and arbitrarily detained since then in Sanaa without ever being brought before any judicial authority.
The Human Rights Council adopted yesterday the report for the second cycle of the Universal Periodic Review of Yemen. This mechanism involves for every United Nations member state to be reviewed on the situation of Human rights in their country.
