One of the protesters that were kidnapped, telling his story. Full English translation of converstation below:
Interviewer: Continue what you said,

...Protester: They me write a promise and asked me to go home directly

Interviewer: they took you from Aden to Sana’a

Protester: I didn’t know I was in Sana’a until today’s morning and when they took us in the car, I wasn’t alone, there were two other guys with me they look..

Interviewer: blind folded?

Protester: Yes, but one on each side, I can feel..

Interviewer: A military car?

Protester: The car? The one we came in? It was the same the Honda. It was the same Honda car when we came in, but they brought two guys beside me and covered our faces the car came and took us to an unknown destination. We didn’t know we were in Sana’a until today. Even the place they took us in..

Interviewer: And when they investigated with you today, were they wearing civilian clothes?

Protester: Yes, they were all in civilian clothes.

Interviewer: Was it in a governmental place or a house or?

Protester: It’s a building because we went up the stairs, I felt like I was on the second level.

Interviewer: The room, did it have a table office?

Protester: No No no, the room I was in, was like a bathroom or a kitchen because of the ceramic walls in it.

Interviewer: So it wasn’t clear where you guys were?

Protester: Yea, ceramic walls kitchen like.

Interviewer: How many people investigated with you?

PROTESTER: Investigated with me in Aden 2, and first day in Sana’a 2, second day in Sana’a 2 and then the one I told you about.

Interviewer: So the burns on your body were they intending to hurt you? Or did they want to get information?

PROTESTER: No, they wanted to get from me… the first question that they asked me was, who is financing you? I said wat do you mean? They said, who gives you the money? You got.. I had money with me because I work a Qat dealer in Dali City, he sends me Qat and I distribute it and then receive the money and transfer it to him. That day I had around 67,000 YER. They asked, where did you get this money from? Did you receive it today or last Thursday when they handed out money? I said what Thursday? So they started saying, come on talk and I’ll let you go home. I said talk about what? I wasn’t expecting that it will get to this extent. So after they started burning me, I saw that even if I talked and answered any question they will be wanting more answers of other millions of questions.

Interviewer: So these burns were because they want to get any kind of information from you?

PROTESTER: yes yes, any information

Interviewer: Okay, did you try to beg them to stop this torturing?

PROTESTER: What beg?

Interviewer: There were no signs of humanity?

PROTESTER: First, honestly they were drunk. I could smell them from far away.

Interviewer: What accent do they speak? What city? -The ones that tortured you?

PROTESTER: One from Shabwa, the other one from Sana’a. The ones that are here in Sana’a are all from Sana’a except for the one that came and talked to me when my face was covered, his accent is from Taiz. Because he even asked me about someone in Taiz, -my brother works in security in Taiz- He asked what is the relation between us and I said he’s my brother and then he left.
Interviewer: Was there anyone with you?

PROTESTER: During the investigation?

Interviewer: Yes.

PROTESTER: No

Interviewer: by yourself only?

PROTESTER: Yes, even when he was asking me… you mean other civilians that were with me?

Interviewer: Yes

PROTESTER: No.

Interviewer: Then they transported you to Sana’a, and investigated with you in a place beside Taiz Street.

PROTESTER: Because the distance that we walked from home to there wasn’t even 5 minutes.

Interviewer: You don’t know Sana’a?

PROTESTER: No I don’t know Sana’a

Interviewer: And you came here directly?

PROTESTER: I left at 4:00pm or 4:30pm… excuse me –I have diabetes

Interviewer: No its okay, we were supposed to give you… The amount of money that you had with you, is it still yours?

PROTESTER: No, money, telephone everything.

Interviewer: So all your personal belongings were taken away.

PROTESTER: I swear I just got the phone on that day and the SIM cards I didn’t even call anyone because I just put them in and I wanted to charge the phone with units.

Interviewer: Are there any other wounds on your body? Any beating with any equipment?

PROTESTER: No there isn’t.
