Take Action Mr. Attorney General [Archives:2000/32/Local News]

The National Committee for Defending Human Rights and Liberties requested the Prosecutor to urgently set up an ad hoc committee to prove the existence of a “Private Jail” in Sana’a University campus and to take all legal measures against the people involved. The committee asserted that was a flagrant violation of article 247 of the penal code stipulated in the constitution.
Headed by lawyer Mohammed Naji Allaw, the committee has already been to the site and found a container ‘jail’ located at the main entrance of the Faculty of Legislation and Law. The committee has also visited some illegal jails including one in the Economic Military Corporation. A number of people who had been illegally detained were released.
Worth noting that many private jails have been found in Al-Udain and Dhamar.
