Huda Al-Sarari was forced into exile after her work documenting human rights abuses by U.S.-backed Emirati forces garnered global attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt some point there\u2019s going to have to be recognition of what has happened in Yemen on all sides, and any sort of accountability mechanism in a post-conflict Yemen has got to include the counterterrorism abuses that were committed,\u201d said Jennifer Gibson, a lawyer who leads the extrajudicial executions project at the U.K.-based group Reprieve, which has worked to amplify Al-Sarari\u2019s advocacy efforts outside Yemen, including by nominating her to two prestigious human rights awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why Huda\u2019s investigations are so important, because of what she was able to document in real time and the evidence she was able to gather. That evidence doesn\u2019t go away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU.S. torture was thought to be historical, and what Huda\u2019s work is showing us is that all the U.S. has done from the first half of the war on terror to the second half is to realize, \u2018Hey, actually, it\u2019s much better to outsource the torture, outsource it to our partners, and then we don\u2019t have any accountability, our fingers are not on it,\u2019\u201d Gibson added. \u201cWhen you don\u2019t grapple with your own accountability for your own actions, and you don\u2019t hold your government to account for the torture it has committed, it\u2019s just going to keep doing that in one way or another. The impunity just breeds more impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
