At least one student was killed and fifteen others injured, some seriously, when the security forces dispersed a massive demonstration in the district of Al-Maafir in Taiz.

The dead teenager was named as Muhammad Al-Sanawi, 13, and among the injured was a girl, said Marwan Al-Sanawi, an eyewitness.

Tens of thousands of secondary and primary students marched in the district to call for delaying the exams amid the continuous protests across the republic, he said.

The security forces in uniform and in plainclothes directly fired live bullets at the peaceful demonstration, he said, adding that some of the shooters were stationed at the headquarters of the local council.

Right now, the students are besieging the headquarters to prevent the shooters from leaving the incident site, he said.

Meantime, demonstrations were held in several cities to call for an immediate ouster of President Saleh at a time when the GCC is pushing its West-backed initiative to tackle the Yemeni crisis.

The demonstrations also rejected any initiative not ensuring an immediate exist of the regime and trying those responsible for the killing of the antigovernment protesters.
