What happened

The family of captured soldier Abdulwahab Numan al-Shajea was notified of his death in Houthi custody in October 2022, after he had been captured wounded during fighting in al-Jubah the previous year, Yemen Shabab Net reported.

Rights Radar requested an independent investigation supported by a forensic report and relayed the family’s account of fatal medical neglect. This differs from the headline’s categorical torture claim; the cause remains unresolved in this record.
