The so-called Southern Transitional Council STC, backed by the Emirates, launched on Tuesday a massive campaign of arrests against officials in the offices of government institutions in Socotra Island.
Al-Jazeera channel, quoting local sources, said that the STC forces arrested several government officials in Socotra.
A human rights organization called on the STC branch in Socotra to release five northern detainees abducted since last April.
On Sunday, the Transitional Militia arrested the Director General of Civil Status, Lieutenant “Saleh Amer”, and placed him in prison.
