The number of the antigovernment protesters who were maimed in Hodeida province climbed on Monday to 88 people after pro-government bullies had attacked a demonstration by the students calling for an immediate ouster of President-for-Life Saleh..The regime supporters attacked the protest in Al-Kornish Street firing live bullets and teargas at the students, who were chanting: No teaching and no studying until the president was ousted.
Medical sources said at least five were shot by live bullets and dozens of others suffered inhalation and cramp due to teargas.
They were rushed to the field hospitals in the square of freedom in downtown the western province and to private hospitals.
The students also rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud expressing their refusal to any initiative that does not call for an immediate ouster of the Saleh regime and trying those who were responsible for killing and injuring the antigovernment protesters in various cities.
Local sources said that some of the protesters were maimed when the riot police dispersed the demonstration coinciding with massive demos in other cities as the unrest is continuing to escalate.
