Alsahwa Net- As many as 51 French MPs have demanded their own government to shoulder its responsibility toward the UAE transformation of a natural gas liquefaction complex - in which the French Total is a major shareholder – in Yemen’s Shabwa province to a secret detention place.
Reports say one French MP called the facility a Guantanamo, after a US-run jail in Cuba notorious for torture.
The UAE forces using the facility as a military base is also used as a detention place to torture supporters of the Yemeni government. Yemeni politicians say the control of the base and preventing the export of Yemeni natural gas from the plant is denying Yemen of badly needed foreign cash and contributing to the national currency’s depreciation and overall Yemeni humanitarian crisis.
