A human rights group has accused the United Arab Emirates of backing the torture and disappearances of dozens of people in Yemen.<\/p>\n
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Thursday that the UAE financed, armed and trained Yemeni mercenaries responsible for grave human rights violations during the so-called security operations.<\/p>\n
According to the rights group, the UAE operates two of 11 secret prisons in southern Yemen, and its officials have forcibly disappeared people and ordered the continued detention of others despite release orders.<\/p>\n
In a separate investigation, the Associated Press said it has documented at least 18 secret prisons in the southern governorates of Aden and Hadramawt.<\/p>\n
