The southern political activist, Yasser Al-Yamani, revealed on Sunday the details of the tragedy of a political detainee who was prevented from visiting his mother before and after her death in Lahj province, southern Yemen.
Al-Yamani tweeted on the “Twitter” platform: that the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) elements refused to allow his nephew, who has been detained in their prison for a year, to visit his deceased mother, and instead requested that the body of the deceased be brought to the prison in order for her son to see it.
