Definition Haq Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (a non-governmental, voluntary and independent human rights organization) operates under an official license with complete realism and neutrality and has been active in the geographical scope of the southern governorates since its establishment in 2009 and in troubled areas throughout Yemen. Human rights) in the field of defending rights and freedoms and monitoring violations and violations of human rights, and through field work in collecting information, verifying it, documenting and monitoring facts on the ground through questionnaires, interviews and preparing reports on serious crimes against human rights in Yemen in accordance with international human rights standards. This allowed her to communicate with relevant local and international parties, especially the International Criminal Court and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and to participate in submitting human rights reports in regional and international human rights events, the most recent of which was the thirty-ninth session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, where the organization established Haq on September 25 / 2018 in Geneva, in partnership with the Consultative Center for Rights and Freedoms, based in Geneva, a symposium On the findings of the fact-finding committee set up by Haq to enter Bir Ahmed prison in Aden, and in the symposium attended by Australian Professor Bossir Guidi, President of the International Organization for Natural Human Rights, and Lebanese Professor Othman Hajji, Vice Chairman of the Committee on Enforced Disappearance of the United Nations and a large gathering of representatives of delegations and organizations And the activists participating in the previous session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva and the representative of Haq Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms gave a comprehensive presentation on the content of the report of the Haq organization submitted to the session of the Human Rights Council, which included a response to the allegations and allegations mentioned in the report of the American Associated Press and the statement of the fabrication that characterized it. The report of the US Agency and its lack of credibility in many of its allegations, its targeting nature, and its political and ideological intent, denying the integrity and transparency of the noble human rights and legal work that serves the cause of defending human rights and preserving human dignity. In the symposium, Haq presented the results of the fact-finding field trip to Bir Ahmed prison, which was distributed to the attendees in Arabic and English, accompanied by CDs and two documentary films, and photographs from inside the prison (Bir Ahmed Prison) confirm the validity of the findings of the disembarkation. Field and refutes the allegations of the Associated Press report. The Organization for the Rights of Prisoners and Detainees in Yemen pays special attention within the framework of its human rights activities in the field of human rights in Yemen, carrying out its duties in protecting human rights and dignity in accordance with the Yemeni constitution, local laws, human rights principles, and international charters and norms to assist the state and society in ensuring respect and establishment of human rights for persons Those deprived of their freedom by imprisonment or other forms of arrest and detention, and the strengthening of national structures that directly affect the overall respect for human rights, the maintenance of the rule of law, and the exercise of societal control over prisons to ensure the achievement of minimum international standards and the United Nations model rules for the treatment of prisoners. 4 The Background Since the Houthi-Saleh alliance invaded Taiz governorate in March 2015 until the present day in January 2021, human rights in Taiz governorate have been exposed to the crimes of assassinations, field executions and arbitrary arrests, through kidnappings from public roads and residential neighborhoods, and by storming homes with force of arms many times. According to the reports of the International Group of Experts on Yemen, the 22nd Mika Brigade and the Popular Mobilization Forces, since its establishment, have become affiliated with the Islah party, along with other extremist and terrorist entities, all of which operate outside the rule of law, And their detention in irregular places of detention (23 educational school buildings and government facilities designated for criminal acts outside the framework of the law in which arbitrary executions were carried out in previous periods, and hundreds remain in detention centers and unauthorized prisons. These authorities work on arresting, kidnapping, arresting and raiding homes independently and by coordinating their work in detaining people in their places, ignoring other supposed guarantees against arbitrary arrest and detention, and at many times they carried out random arrests, as these arbitrary arrests included children in provocative and degrading methods, It concealed their detention for long periods, refused to acknowledge their existence, and did not reveal their detention to their family members, thus placing the detained persons outside the protection of the law, making them victims of the international crime of enforced disappearance. Detainees are also subjected to inappropriate treatment, and torture and other forms of cruel treatment and punishment are practiced against them in the first days of detention and while in incommunicado detention. The methods of torture include continuous torture by various means, such as beatings with sticks, deprivation of sleep for long hours, degrading treatment, surrounded by dignity, and inflicting severe physical and mental suffering while being held in dark corridors. Our Human Rights Commission has been able to monitor and document many cases of victims of arbitrary arrests, victims of torture and field executions, after conducting interviews with the families of the victims and with some of the victims of arbitrary arrests after their release at various times. We refer here to the victims of the crime of enforced and disappeared disappearances since 2016 until the moment, including: The political activist / Ayoub Al-Salihi and the human rights activist / Akram Hamid and the journalist / Abdul Hakim Al-Barakani and the student / Najm Al-Din Jamil Al-Sama'i. Five years to the present day, from January 2021. Haq has previously issued four field reports on the reality of human rights in Taiz governorate, namely: 1- The Reality of Human Rights and informal prisons ……… (October 2017) 2- Legal and Illegal Prisons ………..(January 2019) 3- The dangers of sectarianism and storming the old city. ....... (April 2019) 4- Under the militia rule. .......................... (June 2019) Also, the Haq Organization for Rights and Freedoms is following with interest what human rights are exposed to in the (Al-Hajriya) regions and cities southeast of Taiz city after it was overrun by the Popular Mobilization Militia of the Islah Party in Taiz governorate in the middle of 2020.

  • Conflict Snapshot – Yemen
    Funded by the European Union COVID-19 SNAPSHOT in December 2020 Yemen Conflict Introduction The ongoing conflict in Yemen is complex and multi-layered, with the involvement of rival regional powers adding a geopolitical dimension to the war. As the national framework has disintegrated, local rivalries have intensified, leaving more room for foreign state interference in the country.1 Since March 2015, a dangerous combination of factors, driven by conflict and economic decline, and now exacerbated by COVID-19, have compounded the dire situation for over 24 million Yemenis, as reported by the UN, international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), and local sources. The country has been de facto split into two since several years: the North, controlled by the de-facto authorities of Ansarullah “Al-Houthi”, and the South, which is controlled by the internationally-recognised Hadi government (IRG). Data collection and analysis Data for this first COVID-19 snapshot report in Yemen Conflict was gathered from 31 October to 10 November 2020 in the following target zones: Tuban and Toor Al-Baha districts in Lahj governorate (located in the South, under IRG control), and Al-Mawasit and Jabal Habashi districts in Taiz governorate (located in the North but under IRG control). This report was prepared by an independent consultant and the Search for Common Ground (Search) Yemen team, with T support from Search’s COVID-19 Response Programming Team and Institutional Learning Team.

  • How the Ongoing Crisis in Taiz Governorate Continues to Put Civilians at Risk
    A crisis with no end in sight How the ongoing crisis in Taiz Governorate continues to put civilians at risk www.oxfam.org OXFAM BRIEFING NOTE – DECEMBER 2020 Despite a UN-brokered peace agreement in December 2018, the conflict in Yemen has run into its sixth year. In Taiz Governorate, civilians continue to bear the brunt of conflict. Every day, they face death or injury from indiscriminate attacks, gender- based violence in their homes and poor access to food, water and medical care. As people’s resources are further exhausted, their safety, security and well-being are only likely to worsen. The COVID-19 pandemic has added an additional layer to the ongoing crisis. The people of Taiz – and across Yemen as a whole – desperately need a lasting and inclusive peace process to end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. © Oxfam International December 2020 This paper was written by Abdulwasea Mohammed, with support from Hannah Cooper.

  • Parasitological and Biochemical Studies on Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Shara'b District, Taiz, Yemen
    Asmaa et al. Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob (2017) 16:47 DOI 10.1186/s12941-017-0224-y Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials RESEARCH Open Access Parasitological and biochemical studies on cutaneous leishmaniasis in Shara’b District, Taiz, Yemen Qhtan Asmaa1, Salwa AL‑Shamerii2, Mohammed Al‑Tag3, Adam AL‑Shamerii4, Yiping Li1* and Bashir H. Osman5 Abstract Background: The leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by intracellular haemofagellate protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania. Leishmaniasis has diverse clinical manifestations; cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is the most com‑ mon form of leishmaniasis which is responsible for 60% of disability-adjusted life years. CL is endemic in Yemen. In Shara’b there is no reference study available to identify the prevalence of endemic diseases and no investigation has been conducted for diagnosing the diseases. Methods: This study was conducted in villages for CL which collected randomly. The study aimed at investigating the epidemiological factors of CL in Shara’b by using questioner. Symptoms of lesions in patients sufering from CL, confrmed by laboratory tests, gave a new evidence of biochemical diagnosis in 525 villagers aged between 1 and 60 years old. Venous bloods were collected from 99 patients as well as from 51 control after an overnight fast. Results: The percentage prevalence of CL was found 18.8%. The prevalence rate of infection among males (19.3%) was higher than females (18.40%). Younger age group (1–15) had a higher prevalence rate (20.3%) than the other age groups. Furthermore, the population with no formal education had the higher rate of infection (61% of the total).

    18 September 2014 Yemen Resolving displacement essential for long- term peace and stability Intermittent armed conflict and violence have mainly taken place on three fronts in Yemen in recent years. The Shia al-Houthi movement has led a violent insurgency in the north, there has been civil unrest in central and southern regions, and government forces have clashed in the south with militants associated with the Southern Separatist Movement and Ansar al-Sharia, an offshoot of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

As of July 2014, there were 334,626 internally displaced people (IDPs) registered by the government’s Executive Unit and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), most of whom had fled conflict and violence. Disasters including flash floods and drought have also caused displacement, but there are few reliable estimates of its scale. IDPs and their host communities face many protection risks, including threats to their physical security and a lack of access to adequate shelter and basic services. Food insecurity and malnutrition rates are also particularly high among displaced communities, and IDPs face a heightened risk of serious human rights abuses.

  • Geological and Structural Evolution of the Sharab Area, Southwest Yemen Abdul-Hamid Malek, Fuad Bagash, Abdul-Aleam Ahmed Al-Qadhi
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 12, Issue 4, April-2021 InternationalISSN 2229-5518 Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 8, Issue 1, January-2017 224 ISSN 2229-5518 Geological and Structural Evolution of the Sharab area, Southwest Yemen Abdul-Hamid Malek, Fuad Bagash, Abdul-Aleam Ahmed Al-Qadhi Abstract— This paper presents the first attempt to give insight background on the lithological units and their structural evolution in the Sharab area of Yemen, based on the field work, satellite image analysis and available secondary data sources. Accordingly, geological map is constructed. Lithologically, the Sharab area is occupied by a few thousand meters thick of Precambrian basement rocks overlain by thick Mesozoic marine sediments (limestone and shale) and clastic sediments (sandstone, siltstone, mudstone and conglomerate). The Precambrian basement and Mesozoic sediments are coated by huge amounts of Tertiary basalts intercalated with acidic and volcaniclastic strata and injected by several types of igneous dykes, sills and plugs. Structurally, the study area is affected by six phases of deformations (D1-D6) took place in three stages; during the Precambrian (D1: D4), through Mesozoic (D5) and in the Cenozoic (D6). D1 of the Precambrian is characterized by penetrative linear foliation (S1), lineation (L1) and isoclinal, intrafolial folds (F1), while D2, D3 and D4 are characterized by a series of major and minor anticline and syncline folds (F2), ductile left-lateral shear zones, and right lateral ductile-brittle shear zones respectively. D5 generated during Mesozoic is represented by the obviously observed folds in the Jurassic limestone. The latest phase of deformation (D6) in Cenozoic is characterized by horizontal extension and vertical thinning, which led to wide fragmentation by E-W, NE- SW, WNW-ESE and NW-SE conjugate system of high-angle brittle normal faults and several distinctive horsts and grabens.
