The House of Representatives formed on Tuesday a panel to investigate the revolt inside the Central Prison in Sana’a, Yemen’s capital, as many inmates continued for a second day their rioting demanding the removal of the regime.
The panel will investigate attacks against inmates after policemen used live ammunition to control the rioting that started on Monday.
Today, policemen spread inside and outside the prison in large numbers as the prisoners insisted on their protest demanding the departure of Saleh, informed sources said.
There were conflicting reports some were killed, and confirmed reports tens were injured.
A source at the prison also said that some patient inmates suffered inhalation when riot police fired teargas, and others were injured when police used live bullets against those who refused to leave the jail to receive medical care.
Also, policemen, more than 20, were wounded in the clashes at the prison
