Alsahwah.net- A Yemeni rights group, Hood, has said that peaceful protesters along with soldiers who supported the Yemeni uprising are tortured inside covert jails of the Central Security, the Republican Guard, the National Security and the military intelligence.   

A senior official of Hood, Abdul-Rahman told Aljazeera Net that Hood managed to have information about some underground jails urn by the Republican Guard, the Central Security and the National Security.

Human rights activists said that the orders of Interior Minister to release all political prisoners will not be carried out, attributing that to the division inside security and military forces.

Human Rights Minister Horiah Mashour had said that the government discussed the cases of the political prisoners and protesters, singling out that some complications still hamper their release.
