Online campaign against illegal Saudi prison camps in Mahrah starts

Yemeni have activists launched an online campaign to expose the violations committed in secret and illegal Saudi prisons in Mahrah province.

Hundreds of activists tweeted under the hashtag #SecretSaudiPrisonsInMahrah, in order to denounce Saudi Arabia’s practices in the province and the grave violations against Mahrah people in its secret prisons.

They said that “the more a state represses citizens, this indicates its fear of them.”

The activists considered that the strengthening of military barracks and the establishment of secret prisons are all signs of fear of the popular rejection of the Saudi military presence in Mahrah.
