In Alhudaydah, which is witnessing scorching temperatures reaching 50°C amidst the global heat wave, our abducted sons are facing unbearable conditions at prisons and detention centers which lack the most basic needs, such as ventilation and water. Thus, their medical conditions worsen, especially those suffering asthma and shortness of breath, and contagious skin diseases spread. Abductees’ Mothers Association has documented the imprisonment of 100

While freedom has become a granted right around the globe, Yemenis are still suffering, especially our abducted, forcibly disappeared, and arbitrarily arrested sons, who are subjected to brutal torture leading to the death of many of them. From the beginning of 2020 until the middle of 2021, Abductees’ Mothers Association has documented many cases of physical torture abductees and detainees were subjected to in order to confess to the accusations faced

 As the regional efforts, as well as of the United Nations’, continue to progress in order to end the war and build peace in our country, the case of abductees and arbitrarily arrested and forcibly disappeared persons is being excluded from all humanitarian agenda which leads to prolonging and increasing the suffering of our sons and their families.  On October 15th and 16th, 2020, Yemeni parties released hundreds of abductees as an implementation

Many years have passed by while abductees are still detained. Their suffering has doubled and their case has gone cold. Thus, civilian freedom has become a political game.  According to the cases documented by Abductees’ Mothers Association, Houthi armed group still detains 123 civilians and forced 31 others into disappearance. The group completely refuses to include these civilians in the negotiation lists for prisoners’ swap, despite local and

Days, months, and years have passed while our sons are still forcibly disappeared. We have no clue of their conditions and our fears for their lives have doubled with the spread of COVID-19. Another group of our sons have spent three years and a half unlawfully detained at Be’er Ahmed Prison due to the constant prolonging of legal processes, which, in turn, leads to the extension of detention periods.  We were optimistic with the capability of the new

Years, holidays, and Eids have passed and our abducted sons’ situation remains unchanged. They suffer bitterness of being let down. Their families’ conditions have worsened while there is no close hope to have their stolen freedom back.  At Abductees’ Mothers Association, we have assembled here by the office of UN’s Special Envoy to condemn the disregard of Yemeni parties for the suffering of 624 abductees and forcibly disappeared

As the whole world combats COVID-19 by releasing all prisoners and detainees, since the conditions at prisons dangerously accelerate the spread of the virus, the warring parties in Yemen continue to abduct journalists and issue execution judgement upon them while allowing no defence for their cases at all.  On April 11th, 2020, Houthi armed group issued a judgement of executing four abductees after more than five years of detention. Armed Houthi officers had

The seventh Ramadan is here while our abducted, detained, and forcibly disappeared sons are still held behind bars. Our living conditions have worsened and our tears cannot be stopped for any joy is not felt without our sons’ presence.  Currently, there are 633 abducted civilians held by Houthi armed group, 155 of whom are forcibly disappeared.

Abductees’ Mothers Association calls to save its abducted sons who have been held at Be’er Ahmed Prison in Aden for three years. For the past four days, the abductees have gone on a hunger strike, protesting against the derailing and prolonging of their legal processes by authorities, and detention of others longer than the statutory limitation period without interrogation or trial. 39 abductees declared that their strike will continue until their

Journalists, Abdulkhaleq Amran, Tawfiq Al-Mansouri, Akram Al-Waleedi, and Hareth Humaid, have been threatened by Houthis to be executed in case they are not exchanged with war prisoners by the government, as stated by their lawyer, Abdulmajeed Sabra.  On April 11th, 2020, Houthi armed group issued a judgement of executing the four journalists, who were abducted in June 2015 in Sana’a. Since their abduction, the journalists have been subjected to physical

At Abductees’ Mothers Association, we make this call to save the lives of 114 civilian abductees, 48 of who are sick, who have been held at Political Security Prison in Sana’a for more than 5 years, and subjected to systematic starvation by Houthi armed group.  We rally here, by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Sana’a, to hold Houthi armed group accountable for the lives and safety of all our abducted

As Yemenis look forward to ending the war and building complete peace that protect civilians and their rights, the armed conflicts intensify resulting in derailing the case of abductees and detainees. This case is the only part of agreements that has made tangible process. Thus, we return to the life of terror and displacement.  Abductees’ Mothers Association has monitored 4 prisons in Marib, in which 550 men and 13 women are held, as well as 19

For five years, 38 sons of ours have been forcibly disappeared. We have no clue of their fate and their medical conditions. All doors have been knocked and calls have been delivered to all competent authorities in order to acquire any information to hold on to the hope of finding out the fate of forcibly disappeared individuals held at secret detention centres in Aden.  As we demand uncovering the fate of our forcibly disappeared sons, we call upon the Arab
