Amir Al-Deen: Top Medical Student & Illegally - Detained Prisoner

Amir Al-Deen Abdulmalik Jahaf is the son of academics who graduated high school as a top student and was awarded a scholarship to study medicine in Egypt. However, when he returned to visit his family in Yemen on summer break, he ended up being detained without trial for two years and three months in hidden prisons. Amir shares his story of resilience with us, and how he managed to survive his harrowing ordeal and recover his well-being. He also shares with us about men who did not survive and were tortured to death before Amir’s own eyes. Their stories challenge us to join Amir in fighting for those who are still in hidden prisons, whose stories are unknown, until they are freed again to enjoy their basic human rights.
