Three venders were injured and one killed as municipal police fired at them in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a.
Eyewitnesses said the officials, launching a massive campaign to rid Hayel Street of vendors over the last few weeks, beat vendors and destroyed their properties.
One of the hurt had his backbone broken after he was brutally beaten by rifles backs, according to eyewitnesses, and the hurt were rushed to hospital.
In response, the vendors gathered with their batons and clashed with police. Fighting lasted almost four hours.
These days, metropolitan police are trying to rid the vendors at Hayel Street, because they occupy the street leading to traffic jam and preventing cars from passing on it.
They sometimes devastate what the vendors sell.
On the other hand, four children died in Shumaila, Sana’a, after a fire broke out when the children lit a candle amid electricity cut off.
