SANAA, May 29 (KUNA) -- Three people have been killed, and more than 400
others were injured Sunday in Taiz in central Yemen when security forces and
gunmen wearing civilian clothes opened fire at the protesters.
The opening of fire targeted protesters who converged near to Cairo
district headquarters building to call for the release of detainees.
Further, medical sources at the field hospital in Taiz, said that three
persons were killed by shooting at the hands of security forces, while 400
others have been injured with varying degrees, and suffocation cases as a
result of firing tear gas, while noting that 100 people have injured as a
result of using live ammunition.
A leading source from the revolutionary youth organizing committee in Taiz
city told media outlets that a march of revolutionary youth headed to Cairo
district headquarters near to the Freedom Square to call for the release of
one of those revolutionary youth who have been previously detained, though the
youth have been surprised with a haphazard unleash of fire in what caused a
lot of casualties. (end)
