| 2011-07-20 |
| [Yemen Post] An antigovernment protester was killed when armed people, believed to be police in plainclothes, attacked a demonstration in Yemen's capital Sana'a on Monday. Hassan Al-Houri was killed and eight other protesters injured when the thugs fired live bullets at the demonstration on Zubairy St afternoon. Central security forces surrounded the protesters firing live bullets and teargas at them and there were also armed people on rooftops of some public offices including the Youth and Sports Ministry firing at the demonstrators. In response to the crackdown, the organizational committee of the youth-led revolution in Yemen called for massive demonstrations on Tuesday in various Yemeni cities to escalate the antigovernment protests. Hundreds of pro-regime people who have been camping on the street for months were seen with batons and some with guns. |
