Yemeni prisons and detention centers are filled with hundreds of detainees who have no idea when they will be released or even if they will ever be tried. Many of these prisoners were either arrested on suspicion or often with no reason at all, as the Yemeni authorities continue to use loosely defined anti-terrorism laws to arbitrarily detain suspects in the fight against the so-called "War on Terror". Alkarama's most recent case involves Azam Hassan, detained since late October 2007, and who has been on a hunger strike since 25 January 2010 in protest of his deteriorating state of health.
