Yemenis Call for Larger Protests

Navideshahed: Yemeni protesters have held demonstrations in several cities across the country, calling for intensified anti-regime protests until victory is achieved.



Demonstrators took to the streets on Sunday, one day after the chairman of the Yemeni National Council rejected a deal initiated by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council.

Mohammed Basindwah warned on Saturday that the Yemeni opposition would accept the deal unless Ali Abdullah Saleh resigns first.

On Saturday, Yemenis once again rallied against the US and Saudi interference in their country's internal affairs. Demonstrators accused Riyadh and Washington of making efforts to save Saleh's ailing regime.

Saleh and five other high-ranking officials fled to Saudi Arabia for medical treatment following a rocket attack on the Yemeni presidential palace in Sana'a on June 3.
