Sana'a – in the occasion of the month of Ramadan and the announcement of new cases of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Yemen, Mwatana for Human Rights launches "Their Ramadan With Their Families" to shed light on the victims of the arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance in Yemen.Mwatana will release some names of the arbitrarily detainees and forcibly disappeared in the prisons of the parties to the conflict, especially the Ansar Allah group (Houthis), the Southern Transitional Council, and the government forces of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. The names will be released on Mwatana's social media platforms (Facebook and Twitter) in Arabic and English throughout the days of Ramadan.Hundreds of civilians, including journalists and human rights defenders, have been arbitrarily detained and disappeared by the warring parties. Conditions of detention in Yemen are abysmal. Health care is routinely not available and, in some cases, all together denied to detainees, while prison systems do not have the capacity, medical supplies or resources to respond to COVID-19.With concerns of having more cases of Covid-19, there is an urgent need to take urgent measures to reduce the number of prisoners in Yemen. Among these measures is the immediate release of all arbitrary detainees."The suffering of victims of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance must end. They should not spend the month of Ramadan away from their loved ones," said Radhya Al-Mutawakel, chairperson of Mwatana for Human Rights.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
