The activist in the General People's Congress Party in Sana'a, Nabil Muhammad Mayad, died as a result of the complications of his arrest and torture in the prisons of the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - in Sanaa and the neighboring governorates.

The Houthi militia arrested Mayad, who held the position of head of the technical committee of the conference in the eighth district of the capital, in mid-2018, because of his political affiliation as part of its crackdowns to prosecute party activists since the December 2, 2017 uprising.

According to those close to Mayad's family, the Houthi militia practiced all kinds of violations against him, and physical and psychological torture, and he suffered brain damage as a result of brutal torture, including repeated beating of the back of his head with rifle butts and iron tools.
