During the Committee's NGO meeting, Alkarama was able to present its concerns regarding the human rights situation in Yemen to the experts. These included:
- the proliferation of security services, including the Political Security and National Security services
- the elevated occurrence of secret detention
- the practice by state agencies of taking of family members hostage to force other family members out of hiding
- the impact of anti-terrorism measures on the human rights situation in Yemen
- the impact of the conflict in the North of Yemen on the human rights of inhabitants of the region.
Alkarama will continue to monitor compliance by the Yemeni government with the CAT, and specifically the implementation of CATs Concluding Observations on Yemen (due to be adopted in the 3rd week of November).
