The Abductees Mothers Association and the Forcibly Disappeared said that Ramadan, the seventh in a row, came while the abducted, detained, and forcibly disappeared people are still behind bars in prisons and their lonely cells.

Today, Tuesday, the Association issued a call for the unconditional release of its abducted and forcibly disappeared sons in militia prisons, indicating that their family's life is getting worse and they cry for their pains day and night, so there is no joy that is complete in their absence.

The Association appealed to all Yemeni parties and parties that abduct, arrest and hide our civilian sons, to release them without restriction and conditions, with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan.

It confirmed that 633 civilians are still abducted in the prisons of the Houthi militia, including 115 forcibly disappeared, 39 civilians detained in Bir Ahmed prison in Aden, 38 civilians forcibly disappeared in secret prisons belonging to the Security Belt Forces in Aden and 23 civilians detained in the prisons of the legitimate government, including 2 forcibly disappeared civilian and 11 civilians abducted by West Coast forces.

It said, "We live in a state of panic for our abducted, detained and disappeared sons, especially with the issuance of successive international reports that talk about the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus in Yemen and our follow-up of the daily events of deaths due to infection with this virus."

It explained that the abducted live in a lethal environment, where crowding, lack of good ventilation, deprivation of exposure to the sun, starvation, lack of water and lack of medicine, pointing out that it documented 131 civilian sick abducted in the prisons of the Houthi group, 9 civilians abducted by the Security Belt Forces in Aden, 2 persons were detained by the legitimate government and a civilian was abducted by the West Coast forces.

The Association indicated that the abduction and detention authorities pursue the denial of medical care as a method of torture and punishment and leave the sick abducted and detainees to die, reminding that they monitored the death of 17 abducted and detained persons due to the denial of medical care.

The Association cited the case of the abducted, Abdu Saleh, from the marginalized group, who said that he was not complaining of any organic disease, and after two years of his detention, he began to complain about pain in his chest, back and heart, and he requested that he be treated, but there was no response from the supervisors of Al-Saleh prison for treatment, then his health deteriorated further and he passed away in mid-2020.

The statement said, “We remind the Yemeni parties that have declared their willingness to release all of the abducted, that the lists of names of those abducted, detainees and forcibly disappeared and their places of detention are in the drawers of your offices and in your hands from the beginning, you must be honest and release them immediately without complication or delay.

The statement added, "All these risks increase our pain and suffering from the intransigence of the Yemeni parties and the arresting authorities in releasing the abducted and detained civilians, and even continuing to hide dozens of them, and their continued failure in negotiations regarding the abducted and detainees under unacceptable justifications, and to proceed with all arrogance in political overbidding and military barters without respect for national and international laws and the rights of civilians, without regard for the suffering of the victims and their families, who suffer every day and lose their sons' opportunities in life.

The Abductees Mothers Association called on the United Nations, its special envoy and the countries sponsoring peace to intensify pressure, with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, on the detention parties represented by the Houthi group, the Security Belt Forces, the legitimate government and the West Coast forces to release the abducted, detained and forcibly disappeared civilians.

It also called on influential Yemeni figures, local mediators and all members of society to invest in this holy month by actively seeking to save their relatives, friends, neighbors and people from their areas the civilians who were abducted, detained and disappeared, and to release them and reunite them with their families.
