Yemeni medic Farouk Baakar demonstrates how he was shackled to a wall during his torture in a prison run by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, in this combination of three photos taken on July 29, 2018 in Marib, Yemen. Baakar was one of thousands of people who have been imprisoned by Houthi militia during four years of civil war. Many of them, an Associated Press investigation has found, have suffered extreme forms of torture — smashed in their faces with batons, hung from chains by their wrists or genitals for weeks at time, scorched with acid or fingers torn from their hands.

The Yemeni lab technician disappeared for a year and some in his family and other activists believe he was detained and tortured by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who finally doused him with acid and dumped him in a stream. His torture was so extreme he has lost his memory and can barely speak, mumbling unintelligibly when asked questions.(AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)
