Intisar Abdulrahman Al-Hammadi

Intisar Abdulrahman Al-Hammadi is a Yemeni actress and model. On 08 November 2021, she was sentenced to five years in prison for alleged prostitution and drug use. On 12 February 2023, the Court of Appeal in Sana’a held a session in which it upheld her sentence. The court lacked the minimum international standards for fair trial and legal procedures, and issued its verdict without discussing the legal notes submitted by the defence team.  On 31 January 2024, the High Court rejected the appeal of the ruling of the Court of Appeal which sentenced her to prison.

While in prison, she has been subjected to severe mistreatment, such as harassment, beatings, solitary confinement, and medical neglect. On 22 July 2023, Ahmed Saif Hashed, a member of the Yemeni Parliament, posted an appeal on Twitter signed by dozens of human rights defenders, academics, lawyers, and various members of society, in solidarity with Al-Hammadi and calling for her immediate release.

She was released on 26 October 2025.
