After being abducted from his job in Al-Houta city, Lahj province, last week, the Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms has denounced the crime of assault on Yemeni citizen Mohammed Jamal Ahmed Shahab.

In a statement obtained by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the organization stated that it had closely followed the assault of citizen Shahab, a 31-year-old resident of Al-Houta city in the Lahj province, after he was abducted from his place of employment and tortured to death in one of the prisons operated by the so-called Transitional Council in Lahj.

It affirmed its condemnation of all abuse and related crimes that violate the human rights of civilian citizens.
