1.7Torture and ill treatment of detainees (Art. 2, 7)
Despite Yemen’s review by the Committee against Torture in November 2009, which went ahead despite the lack of delegation (which attended the next Committee session in May 2010 during which the Committee’s final concluding observations on Yemen were adopted), torture continues unabated in the country.
