Prominent Yemeni Sheikh Dies After Two Months in Detention by Security Belt militia
A well-known Yemeni cleric, Sheikh Anis Saeed Al-Jardami, has died in a hospital in Aden, Yemen, after his health deteriorated while in detention.
Al-Jardemi had been taken into custody by the Security Belt Forces, a paramilitary security unit affiliated with the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC), in early April.
According to human rights sources, Al-Jardami's arrest was reportedly linked to audio recordings he shared on social media, in which he criticized the STC and its leader.
He was held without a court order for two months before being transferred to the hospital due to his failing health.
The circumstances surrounding Al-Jardemi's detention and death have sparked concerns about human rights abuses in Yemen.
