Nasser Arrabyee: Yemeni Journalist & Political Analyst

Nasser Arrabyee, a veteran journalist, has spent the last 20 years telling the stories of Yemenis, including the Yemenis held by the United States in Guantánamo prison who have never been given due process or brought to trial. This includes the story of Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif, one Yemeni held at Guantanamo who actually was recommended for release by a US court, but never made it home to Yemen after he was found dead in his prison cell. In this episode, Nasser talks about how the Yemeni people remain imprisoned by the on-going war. He tells us that the current COVID-19 outbreak in Yemen doesn’t compare with the war crimes committed by the parties involved in Yemen’s conflict and brings us a sobering reminder about the forces fueling the largest humanitarian crisis in the world today.
