Human rights in Yemen

Human rights in Yemen are seen as problematic in numerous ways. The security forces have been responsible for torture, inhumane treatment and even extrajudicial executions.
LGBT rights.
Homosexuality is illegal in Yemen in accordance with the country's Shari'ah legal system. LGBT persons in Yemen are likely to suffer discrimination, legal, and social challenges. Punishments for homosexuality range from flogging to death. Yemen is one of only seven countries to apply a death penalty for consensual sexual acts between adults of the same sex.
Gay and lesbian websites are blocked by the government.
As of 2007, there was no public or semi-public space for gays as in western countries. The official position is that there are no gays in Yemen.
As a result of Sharia, LGBT people are killed in attacks. The government does not protect its gay citizens from violence.
