Taiz Bureau
The death phenomena within the prisoners has increased during the recent period, due to the spreading of diseases and sicknesses in the shadow of low services, cleanliness, and health care, as an imprisoned person has died there. Meanwhile, another man committed suicide. As a result, one of the two corpses was taken to the General Republican Hospital freezer whereas the imprisoned Hameed Abdo Ali Ahmed, who comes from Shar'ab al-Rownah, Taiz, died on 8/12/2003. As per information sources, the percentage of deaths in the central prison of Taiz has exceeded the number of the deaths in one of the hospitals during the year. It is worth mentioning that the Taiz central prison capacity is fixed for 700 prisoners, meanwhile, there are more than 1500 prisoners in there. This condition exists during the absence of the care and the interest in Taizism and the health of such prisoners that leads to a spreading of such sicknesses and killing diseases and slow-death.
