Nasser Arrabyee; 6/6/08
Sana’a: A 23-year-old university student said he was beaten up for walking with a female friend in Aden in May. “A bearded man attacked and slapped me while I was walking with my girl colleague, saying it’s haram to talk to women in the street,” said the student. The student was going home from the Aden law college along with two boys and three girls when a group of religious men intercepted them and had a fight with them over “walking and talking” with girls in the street.
