Despite having served six months over and beyond his prison sentence, Abdul Rahman Al-Hossami was not released by Yemeni security services. However, reliable sources recently informed Alkarama that he was in fact finally released on 7 December 2009. Alkarama had previously submitted his case to the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention on 29 October 2009.

Abdelghani Suleiman is threatened with forced extradition to Pakistan where he risks being subjected to torture. He has been detained by the Political Security services (Al-Amn Al-Siyassi) in Sana'a since 28 May 2008 without legal procedure.

Two separate extrajudicial killings, carried out by agents of the Yemeni security services, took place in July 2008 and July 2009. Despite orders from the Ministry of the Interior for the perpetrators to be arrested and handed over to the Prosecution, no action has been taken in the case of Saleh Al-Wasabi and the culprits remain at large . As for Majed Al-Odeini, members of the Prosecution investigating his death have been subjected to pressure from the Yemeni security services not to pursue the case and not to issue arrest orders against the perpetrators. Alkarama's sources report that those responsible for the murders continue in their work without any concern for the judicial orders for their arrest.

After 19 months of arbitrary detention at the Political Security prison in Sana'a, the Yemeni security authorities released Abdullah Saad Al-Ghazial Al-Rimi on 8 December 2009.
