The Yemen Brief | Episode 10 | Prisoners in Hadhramaut: Forgotten in Overcrowded Cells

Hundreds of prisoners have found themselves long forgotten for years with pending cases, languishing in overcrowded prisons of Hadramout, Yemen’s largest governorate. Prisoners were deprived of basic rights like adequate food or health care, a matter exacerbated by disease outbreaks such as Covid-19 and skin diseases, not to mention lack of access to rehabilitation programs.
In this episode of the Yemen Brief podcast, we host Iyad BaYa’ashout – Bureau Chief for the Director General of Seiyun Central Prison’s, Hashim Al Hibshi – Public Prosecutor in Seiyun and Abha BaOuidhan – Head of Al Amal Sociocultural Foundation for Women, to address this topic.


Prepared and presented by: Murad Al Arifi
