Amnesty International Yemen: Disappearance Of Six Men [Archives:2000/37/Front Page]

An Amnesty International German local group has recently issued a statement on disappearance of six Yemeni men missing since January 1986 when they had been arrested by government officials of former Peoples Democratic Republic of Yemen. The statement has mentioned the names of the six men as: Mohammed Naser Srur Said, Mohammed Qassim Abdullah Amer, Mohammed Salem Abdullah, Mohammed Umar Abdullah Qassim al-Shaddi, Mohammed Umar Masdu Said and Dr Najib Fari Sayf.
Amnesty International group said, According to our information no official trial was held for any of these six men and the whereabouts are unknown since their arrestment. It has also said that the group has sent hundreds of letters to the current government officials in Yemen, but did not receive any reply. It says that the current government does not feel responsible for the victims of the old government. In our opinion the reason for that fact is based on the unification of YAR and PDRY and the following changes in the legal system.
