Yemeni terror suspects ask Saudi officials for freedom or trial
By Nasser Arrabyee/29/04/2009
A group of Yemenis being detained in Saudi Arabia for terror suspicion demanded that they be released or put on trial, Yemeni rights group said Wednesday.
The Yemeni National for Defending Rights and Liberties (HOOD) said it had received a complaint signed by 82 Yemeni detainees in Saudi Arabia in which they demanded their release.
"We were arrested inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for terror suspicion, five years ago without charges or trials," said the detainees from Al Kaseem political prison in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The names of the 82 detainees and periods of their detentions were shown in the complaint which was sent to the local Yemeni media by the rights group, HOOD.
The detainees said in the complaint they had been subjected to torture, inhumane and degrading treatments.
They also said that their prison is miserable and not suitable for human beings.
The detainees also expressed their surprise why Yemen has handed over many Saudi detainees to Saudi Arabia, but they were not released or handed to Yemen.
