Inmates Appeal To Human Rights Organizations [Archives:2000/16/Local News]

A number of inmates of Jahran prison district, Dhamar governorate, have sent an urgent letter of appeal to the representative of human rights organization in Yemen complaining of their suffering from bad health conditions and maltreatment at the hands of Jahran security administration.
In their letter of appeal the inmates demanded the organization to pay a visit to their prison to see its deteriorated too small building and its unhealthy and disease-breeding condition.
The 20 appealing inmates, imprisoned in one small room, said they were being treated in a way worse than animals. They say they are treated with severity and deprived of the simplest attention a human being needs.
