7 Killed in Yemen Protests
Navideshahed: Security forces and backers of Yemen's dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh on Saturday killed seven protesters in the south of the capital, medical sources said.
Dozens more demonstrators were injured when tear gas and water cannons were used against thousands of marchers demanding that dictator Saleh go on trial, witnesses and medics said.
Tens of thousands of protesters who set off from the southern city of Taez on Tuesday for the 270-kilometre (170-mile) march to the capital arrived in Sanaa in mid- afternoon but were blocked in a southern suburb.
Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis have turned out regularly for protests in major cities since January, calling for an end to corruption and unemployment and demanding the ouster of dictator Saleh.
