The fishermen explained that an Eritrean patrol kidnapped them while they were fishing in Yemeni maritime waters, and then took them to their prisons on Muqaidah Island under arms' force.

They confirmed that the Eritrean authorities practiced all kinds of torture against them and forced them to do hard labor under starvation and ill-treatment for 17 days, before releasing them after confiscating their property along with their fishing boat and equipment.
