Yemeni security forces have arbitrarily detained dozens of demonstrators and other perceived opponents of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh since anti-government protests began in February 2011, Human Rights Watch says. Saddam Ayedh al-Shayef, 21, a student who was active in the protest movement, says men he believes were from Yemen's National Security Bureau grabbed him from a street in Sanaa and drove him to prisons where they repeatedly tortured him during a week of incommunicado detention.
