Less than 24 hours after President Saleh signed a power transfer deal, five youth protesters were killed by pro government gunmen in Sana’a.
At least 45 youth were injured, 29 of them by gun shot wounds.
The protesters were attacked on Zubairy road after nearly 100 gunmen shot bullets directly at protesters.
Medics in Sana’a said that three of the injured are in critical condition.
After the shooting, youth protesters were busy carrying the injured on their shoulders and giving them medical attention.
Ambulances were not immediately allowed to carry the injured to the field medical camps.
Protesters condemned the attacks and called for massive protests on Friday rejecting Saleh’s immunity plan and vowed to take him to international courts.
They held Vice President Abdu Rabu Hadi responsible for the deaths of the protesters and demanded that he forms a committee to immediately investigate the attacks.
