- Relatives of detainees and the “forcibly disappeared“ due to the occurrences in Sa'ada performed peaceful sit-ins on the freedom Square in the Yemenite capital city, Sana’a to call upon the government for releasing the detainees and elucidate the stay of those who disappeared in mysterious circumstances, but linked to the occurrences in Sa'ada. It has been confirmed that security units belonging to the national security Agency and/or the political security agency in Sana'a, Sa'ada governorate, Al-Jouf and Amran arrested an unknown number of people because of pretended connection to the occurrences in Sa'ada and at the same time some others disappeared in unknown circumstances but very likely related to the occurrences in Saada’s.
- The month of July was a very severe period of time as armed clashes between Al-Houthi followers and the Yemeni army became very frequent and during this confrontations dozens of people were killed or injured in addition of destroying many houses displacing families from home especially in the area of Al-Usaimat.
- Yemeni army forces carried out a wide spread arrest among the followers of the Zaidist fraction and busted dozens of them with regard to the conflict of Sa'ada.

- In the South, and with regard to the Southern Movement, the Yemeni security forces carried out a wide spread arrest during the month of July, where they captured a number of southern leaders in addition to political activists, normal citizens, Journalists and media activists.
Against the existing low, the Yemeni security forces carried out in the fifth, sixth and seventh of July a wide spread arrest in the southern capital city, Aden as well as some other cities in the south in a very aggressive way, which was illegal and contrary to the laws in force. Security forces and army units raided hotels and hostels selecting people from the South without any prove about their participation or even hints about their intention to participate in any protest actions.
The number of people arrested during three days of arbitrary arrests was nearly 7500 detainees who had been deployed on a number of prisons of the Governorate of Aden and due to limited capacity in large state tread stores which are not appropriate as prisons, but, in spite of that the detainees stayed there up to 15 days. Later, the government released thousands of them whiles dozens of them are still in prison up to now.

- It has been proven that security forces while searching a hotel in Al-Shaikh Othman “Hotel Al-Ameen”, they fired at an inmate named Waleed Al-Sunaidi following and argument with the soldiers who wanted to arrest him because his identity card showed that he was from Lahj, a province of South Yemen. Al-Sunaidi was injured seriously and had to be transferred to the intensive care unit of Al-Naqeeb hospital.

- In the evening of July 7th, hundreds of citizens of Addees, city of Al-Mukalla in Hadramout, went in a protest marsh commemorating 15 years since the end of the war between the North and the South. The security forces used live bullets and tear gas against the peaceful demonstrators resulting in the death of a young man called Hassan Afif Al-Wuhiri after being hit by a bullet fired by security forces.

- The government did not release those who were captured during the previous months because of their activities within the Southern Movement so a lot of southern leaders and political activists are still under arrest. One of the most prominent detainees is the former Ambassador of South Yemen in Mauritania, Mr. Qassem Askar Gibran, who has been arrested in the Political Security prison in Sana'a for some months and was put on trial, however, the tribunal was stopped suddenly after two sittings without any obvious reason. Further leaders of the Southern Movement were also arrested including Ahmed Bamualim, Hussein Zeid Ben-Yahia, former Brigadier General Ali Al-Saadi, deputy head of the retired military appointees, former Brigadier General Qasim Osman Al-Dairi, the political activist Fadi Ba'oom head of the Youth Federation of South together with further members of its governing body, Ahmed Alquena spokesman for the Council of the Southern Peaceful Revolution Command and Aidaroos Huqays (leader in the Southern Movement) and many others.
- It has been confirmed to our center that the majority of those detainees are arrested without any charges against them, which is considered a clear violation and an explicit breach of existing lows and the Yemenite constitution as well as international covenants. Furthermore, their relatives were allowed to visit them occasionally and for a few minutes only especially those who are in regular prisons or in prisons of the central security forces. Those who are in the prisons of the political security agency, their relatives can see them only behind barricades and barbed wire fence.

The security forces in Saiuun, South-Yemen, arrested on July 8th an unknown number of young people including a boy on the age of 15 called Abdullah Omar Bin-Abdat. The young people were accused of involvement in illegal demonstration that threats the unity of the country and of planning attacks against shops owned by citizens of North-Yemen. They have been released 6 days later after investigations and interrogations and without any charge due to lack of evidence and the illegality of their continued detention.

- In a later statement issued by the boy's father, Abdullah, the security office in Saiuun was accused to have arrested his son under inhuman conditions and the father uncovered that the temperature in the cell where his son was arrested rose during the day up to 45°C. And although the department of public prosecutor ordered their immediate release due to lack of accusation, the detainees including his son experienced repressions and arbitraries that are not commensurate neither to the young age of his son nor to his slim body, so because of the bad condition of his arrest, he suffered from several acute mental disorders including partial loss of memory, difficulties of talk and imbalances during walk.
The father claimed that his son was suffering from a critical psychological and neurological disorders and he reported this to the department of public prosecutor in July 22nd and accused Yasser Amri, President of the Criminal Investigation Department and Ahmed Alsmidi, a soldier in the Archive department of the police stations and Hani Al-Hanmi, another soldier, to be the main responsible people for the deterioration of his son's mental and heath condition. But after submitting the case to the Court, it was frozen without taking any action.
The Father confirmed that his son was denied visits for the duration of his imprisonment, prevented from sleeping, was interrogated for more than once a night and had been threatened by one of the soldiers to remain in prison until death in addition to solitary confinement in a room at a temperature to 45°C for six days. These led to the deterioration of the physiological and mental health conditions the young boy which required an urgent hospitalization, however, instate of reporting the him to hospital, he was returned to prison which worsened further his mental condition.

- On July 9th, Mr. Ali Seif from the Directorate of Habil-Gabr of the province of Lahj, killed 3 people (Amin Saeed Ali Al-Haj, 17 years, Hamid Saeed Ali Al-Haj, 60-year and Khalid Abdullah, 28 years) and injured Yasin Saeed Ali ( all from the Directorate Alqubaith, province of Lahj) who worked in Habil-Gabr. The crime was carried out in one of the valleys of the Al-Asskariiah region near the police station of Habil-Gabr. The reasons behind this crime are still unknown. The security authorities did not make any effort to arrest the offender although they know him and his stay. This raises many questions about the truth behind this crime and the reason why the authorities do not manhunt the offender.

- On July 12th, the Security forces in the governorate of Aden broke up a solidarity sit-in called by civil and social organizations in solidarity with the Al-Ayyam newspaper which was forced by the Yemeni government to stop publishing. Many Journalists and co-workers of the newspaper were arrested. Although the organizers applied for permission for the sit-in, the authority did not respond to it.

- On July 22nd, the relatives of the victims of the crime of Habil-Gabr (mentioned above) organized a sit-in in Al-Anad, close to the ******** where the crime took place, to demand on arresting the offender. Some of the participants, however, blocked the street which connected Lahj with Al-Dhalii and Taiiz. Forces of the central security interfered and attempted to open the street forcibly by shooting live bullets, which caused the death of one person, called Osman Mohamed, 42 years.
