Mindst syv personer blev dræbt og hundredvis såret i Yemen d. 12.-13. marts under voldelige sammenstød mellem politi og anti-regeringsdemonstranter, der forlangte en afslutning på Præsident Ali Abdullah Salehs’ 32 år lange styre.
SANA’A, 14 March 2011 (IRIN) – Yemeni security forces fired live bullets and tear gas on 13 March at protesters rallying at Sana’a University, killing one person and wounding 19 others, doctors told IRIN.
“Police fired on them from the rooftops,” said Sami Zaid, a doctor in charge of a makeshift hospital near the university.
Zaid said plain-clothed civilians were also involved in the shooting. A video posted on Facebook on 13 March appears to show plainclothes pro-government forces with Kalashnikovs firing from the rooftops and upper floors of nearby apartment buildings.
The day before, riot police launched a pre-dawn raid on Sana’a University square, where thousands of pro-democracy protesters have been camped out for the past month.
Hundreds of people were wounded in the clash, at least 13 of them by live fire, according to doctors at a nearby mosque serving as a field hospital. Volunteer medical staff members there rigged up intravenous drips and bandaged wounds.
