Samah Subay

Samah Subay (Arabic: سماح سبيع‎) is a Yemeni lawyer, working to provide legal support for families who had children 'disappear'.[1][2][3] These disappeared are a result of the Yemeni Civil War (2015–present), where many people have been detained, tortured, and held in unknown locations. As a result, families do not know where or when their members are being held or if they are ok.[4]
