Aden| Similar to the Houthi militias, the Muslim Brotherhood’s militia affiliated with the Yemeni legitimate government that took control of Shabwah after dismantling the Shabwani Elite Forces in August 2019, have established prisons targeting pro South Yemen independence activists and citizens.

In the past week, southern activists circulated videos of men who were inside a prison of the Muslim Brotherhood's terrorist militias, who the tribe freed during clashes with the militia.

One of the videos shows a young man who confirmed that the Islah militia working with the Yemeni government's special forces, under command of Abd Rabu Laakab is forcing young people under torture to confess to unrelated crimes.

A few days ago, Muhammad appeared in a clip on Muslim Brotherhood's militia media reciting reading from a paper and was forced to say that a Southern Resistance leader paid him 5000 Saudi riyals to fight the government forces. In this video he explained how he was tortured and forced to say that.

The Yemeni government's Islah militia has carried out a campaign of arrests against a number of youth in Shabwah, amid accusations that they were breaking the law, however, their only crime is being part of a tribe that has refused to allow the Islah Militia to control their land.
