#1 I don't follow Amnesty International closely, but I don't usually hear about them protesting this type of mysterious death of a detainee in a backwater country like Yemen. This could be because AI would have no reason to let the US media know when it is protesting the actions of a country other than the US or because AI makes no protest at all. Does anybody know whether AI does take action in these cases?

#2 SH, I did a Google search on AI and Yemen. They publish annual reports on human rights abuses.
But I didn't see anything about protests.
AI's 2002 report on Yemen is here.

#3 AI's reports are figleafs to make their protests look legitimate. In turn, the protests are just campaigns to separate the anti-Americans from their cash.
