Human Rights Watch Report: No Safe Places

Human Rights Watch released a report on Tuesday titled “No Safe Places,” that addresses Yemen’s crackdown on protests in Taizz and provides constructive recommendations for various publics. The report chronicles many cases of attacks on protestors, civilian deaths, and denial of medical care. The recommendations are broken down by actor, and target the Yemeni government, opposition forces, U.N. Security Council, Gulf Cooperation Council, European Union, Human Rights Council, and countries that provide security assistance to Yemen including the U.S. Additionally, the report” called on the United States, the European Union, and Persian Gulf states to publicly acknowledge that the domestic immunity granted Saleh and his aides last month has no legal effect outside Yemen.” No Safe Places is based on more than 170 interviews with protesters, doctors, human rights defenders, and other witnesses to attacks in Taizz by state security forces and pro-Saleh gangs from February to December 2011.
