Yemen Accused of Torturing British Men

The London Guardian reports that a group of British Muslims were detained and allegedly tortured last month while traveling in Yemen. The British citizens say their interrogators also demanded detailed information about mosques in London and their associates in Britain. Their allegations appear to shed light on the human rights abuses being perpetrated by Yemen’s main intelligence agency, the al-Amn As-Siyasiia at a time when the United States and British governments are increasing funding for the country’s security apparatus.
