While Alkarama is glad to receive the news of Al Humaiqani’s release, we regret the fact that he was kept in secret detention for months, during which he was tortured. Therefore, Alkarama remains strongly concerned about the systematic practice of arbitrary arrests, secret detention, denial of fundamental judicial rights as well as torture and ill-treatment committed by the Houthis-Saleh forces. In view of these facts, we call upon the Houthi-Saleh coalition to respect the fundamental rights of all detainees, in accordance with Article 3 of the 3rd Geneva Convention, and to apply human rights standards and treat all individuals under their control humanely.
