The families of the people who were detained in connection with the war against the rebellion staged on Wednesday a sit-in before the Political Security Office in Saada to protest the abuse of their relatives at jail.
The families said the detainees were abused and tortured.
MPs, activists and lawyers took part in the sit-in at which a letter was delivered to director of the office.
We were promised to receive a reply next Sunday, sit-inners said, as they vowed to go on hunger strike on Sunday. "We will continue our protest and hunger strike next week until the suffering of our relatives comes to an end."
In their letter, the sit-inners said Al-Qaeda detainees were encouraged by the Political Security System to attack war prisoners at jail and that the families were prevented from seeing their detained relatives. Our relatives were also deprived from their legal rights including access to medications and winter clothes, the letter said.
Holding the system responsibility for the abuse of the war prisoners, the families urged to implement the order of Attorney General calling for transferring the prisoners to the Central Prison and to respect the constitution and international human rights accords.
The sit-in comes amid reports that the war prisoners at the system jails have been abused including those by HOOD and other rights organizations.
Days ago, the spokesman for the Houthi Group Muhammad Abdul Salam said in a statement to the Alsahwa website that their detainees were brutally tortured at jail.
We obtained information that one of the detainees had died under torture, said Abdul Salam, as he held the government responsible for the abuse of the detainees. "We urge an investigation into the abuse and other illegal acts against the war prisoners."
