HeadlineMar 14, 2011

In Yemen, security forces killed two peaceful protesters and injured more than 100 in the capital of Sana’a. Human Rights Watch reports that security forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets, and then live ammunition at demonstrators at the entrance to Sana’a University early Saturday morning. Eyewitnesses described the attack.

Witness: “They fired live bullets from a small street, and the police protected them. The police fired tear gas and toxic bombs on us. They are protecting the bullies.”
