| | 1993 Human Rights Report: YEMEN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | Remittances from Yemeni workers in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, formerly an important source of hard currency, declined significantly in the aftermath of the Gulf war, and aid from the Gulf states has almost ended. |
 | | In seven out of eight cases in which amputation penalties were imposed, the Yemeni Supreme Court refused to confirm the sentences and in several cases ordered the prisoners released upon a finding that their periods of incarceration, which ranged up to 10 years, were adequate punishment. |
 | | A common ploy of Yemeni employers is to hire third-country nationals, often from the horn of Africa, and then, upon the expiration of their term of service, accuse them of theft and have them imprisoned in order to avoid paying their salary or ticket home. |
