The Yemeni street lives nowadays in a state of astonishment after the publication of a number of pictures circulated by activists in social media for Dr. Munir Muhammad Qaid Al-Sharqi, and these photographs are shown the horrific effects of torture on the body of Dr. al-Sharqi. The Houthi militia kidnapped him for a year in a solitary cell in the city of Saleh in Taiz, without knowing his family that knew only when he was released a few days ago in a very bad health and psychological condition.

The Journalist, Fahd Sultan, commented by saying that those who are stunned by the horrific crimes that the Houthis have been committing against Yemenis for years are based on wrong introductions, where many people still believe that the Houthis are straight people or are from natural families and that they are religiously and morally committed, and that they are working for building a state.

The lawyer and human rights activist residing in the United States, Abdurrahman Berman, confirms that Dr. Al-Sharqi was subjected to a brutal torture. His body was full of effects of burns and the incendiary material used in torture appears to be the acid, which was poured on his head and back. According to what has been circulated by activists, he was carried on a Houthi patrol and threw him on a street in the city of Taiz, in a very bad physical and psychological condition.

Dr. Mounir Muhammad Qayed al-Sharqi, 30 years old, is from the village of Mahjara, Directorate of Wusab, Dhamar Governorate. According to the information received he is a preacher in a mosque and an activist in the Islah Party. He was released by the militias a year after the abduction, forced disappearance and torture in Dhamar governorate and then they threw him in a mountain pass of the city of Ibb, adjacent to the eastern governorate of Taiz.

When they threw him from the board of the patrol, the Houthis believed he had died but was only unconscious and did not die, as they believed, and then he moved between the mountain passes and the effects of torture on his body due to incendiary material poured by the Houthis in order to kill him and distort his body.

A month ago, some passers-by found Dr. al-Sharqi in a stream known as Nakhla, which is an area separating Taiz and Ib. Then, they moved him to one of the Taiz areas. He was taken care of by a good people and then his photograph was published to identify him.

The activist Muhammad Mahyoub commented that “the torture of Dr. Mounir al-Sharqi narrates a large part of the horror of the torture suffered by the detainees in the prisons of the Houthi militias. These are Nazi terrorist crimes that words cannot describe.”

In unofficial statistics documented by activists, the number of people killed in Houthi prisons due to torture is more than 137. Earlier, the militia released some people who had been paralyzed by brutal torture inside the cells as in the case of Jamal al-Maamari.

The Alliance of Rasd for Human Rights documented the deaths of 22 people under torture in the prisons of the Houthi militia last year, including one child, and confirmed that all the victims who died of torture to death by the Houthis were civilians and did not participate in any military activities.

There are human rights sources estimated that the number of detainees in the prisons of the Houthi militia more than ten thousand detainees distributed in 643 illegal prisons in most of the governorates that they still control so far.
