Four Yemeni women were arrested last week in Sana’a on charges of abducting girls and forcing them to be sex slaves, Yemen Times reported. 

The weekly said the whereabouts of the kidnappers was identified after a report filed by a father whose 13 year-old daughter was kidnapped and tortured by the same group, the weekly said. 

Sources were quoted by the paper as saying that the girl was found near Sana’a airport with scars on her body. Two suspect women were arrested in the same area, followed by other two. 

Meanwhile, sources at the Criminal Department told the Yemen Times that police arrested and deported a 25-year-old Iraqi lady carrying the HIV virus. She had been expelled from the UAE for the same reason and the Yemeni embassy in the UAE passed the information to the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Albawaba.com
