Palestinian prisoner tortured to death in UAE-run prison in Yemen

A Palestinian citizen died under “severe torture” inside a secret prison run by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the south of war-torn Yemen, activists on social media, who posted pictures of the victim, said on Monday.

Subsequent pictures of the corpse of Salim Ma’arof revealed disturbing signs of torture and mistreatment.

UAE intelligence officers abducted Ma’arof, a father of five children, four days ago at Seiyun International Airport. Activists said that he was arrested over his affiliation to the Palestininan militant movement, Hamas.
