HOOD: Female Suspect in Package Plot Tortured and Abused
2010-11-01
[Yemen Post] The female suspect held in connection with the mail bombs terror plots aimed at Chicago two places of Jewish worship was tortured and abused during and after her arrest in Sana'a, Hood said on Sunday.
It's Yemen. You were expecting?
Hanan al Samawi, a fifth-year engineering student at Sana'a University, was violently jugged before her mother and family members, and she was also tortured during investigation by the national security, a source at the organization said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the ranch...
 law sources expressed concerns about her arrest measures, saying a suspect should be summoned or jugged according to the law.

Hanan's colleagues staged today a sit-in at the engineering faculty and carried placards reading ' we announce our solidarity with Hanan jugged in connection with alleged U.S.-bound mail bombs.'

They urged to release her, saying she had nothing to do with the allegedly suspicious packages, and the Yemeni Student Union called for a strike on Monday in solidarity with Hanan, who was jugged along with her mother on Saturday night and taken to an unknown place.

#4  Even the Yemeni government isn't stupid enough to torture & abuse an arrestee with the whole world watching.

They aren't accustomed to attention, so they don't think in those terms. Besides, who are we infidels to question them?
