Yemeni People Denounce Regime's Violence and International Silence

Peaceful Demonstration in Yemen


A wave of anger swept the capital Sana'a and other Yemeni provinces following the bloody crime committed by the regime against peaceful demonstrators in the capital Sana'a on Wednesday.

Youth in all freedom and change squares across the country have condemned the security crackdown that killed 11 protesters and wounded 798 others, urging the international community to intervene to stop bloodshed against the people of Yemen.

Youth in Change Square in Sana'a denounce "the silence of international community towards the crisis of Yemeni people while it is moving to take strict measures against the Syrian regime."

Protesters also reject to give President Saleh and members of his regime, who are involved in killing protesters, any immunity after stepping down.

When protesters reached the street in front of Al-Thawra Stadium, May 22nd Hall and official Yemen TV, plainclothes security forces and armed thugs as usual opened fire at the mass protest, killing 13 and injuring 798 others, according to eyewitnesses. Attackers reportedly used sharp tools, batons and rocks as well.

The opposition Joint Meeting Parties strongly condemned the continuous crackdowns and violence by the regime against protesters and pointed that the JMP might not sign the GCC-brokered proposal "if does not put end to the regime's crimes."

Amnesty International, the only international organization which has immediately condemned the bloody violence against protesters on Wednesday, said that President Saleh and his political allies must not be given immunity from prosecution "as the price for ending the country's spiraling human rights crisis." 

"President Ali Abdullah Saleh must not be allowed to evade accountability for the long catalogue of human rights crimes committed under his rule," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's director for the Middle East and North Africa.

The battle has become between protesters and President Saleh, who is clearly losing all supporters inside and outside the country day by day and only miracle can save him.
