At least 11 antigovernment protesters were killed and tens of others injured when the security forces intercepted and attacked a massive demonstration calling for an immediate ouster of the regime in the Yemeni capital Sana'a on Wednesday.
The death toll was expected to rise from the attack on the hundreds of thousands of the protesters at the TV and Radio Corporation area, medical sources said.
The security forces are continuing heavy fire after they had failed to stop the demonstrators, who are chanting slogans demanding the resignation of President Saleh and condemning the deadly crackdown on the people seeking change, said Iyad Muhammad, a protester.
The demonstrators also condemned any initiative giving immunity to Saleh and his egime officials, urging Yemen's neighbors and friends to stand by the Yemeni people and cooperate to open trials for the officials responsible for crimes including the killing of the antigovernment protesters, said Iyad.
"The forces are firing live bullets at us but they never used teargas," he added.
The demonstration comes amid the escalation of the protests seeking the ouster of the regime in most of the Yemeni cities and after the political rivals delayed the signing of an agreement for implementing the GCC plan to tackle the Yemeni crisis.
Today, civil disobedience was reported in many cities in response to the call of the youths, who are leading the popular uprising in the squares of change and freedom.
In some cities 100 percent and in others 90 percent of the private and public institutions closed down and massive demonstrations were held.
The ruling party and the opposition accepted the GCC plan calling for the ouster of Saleh in a month in return for immunity given to him and his family and officials in his regime from prosecution.
The two sides will reach the agreement next Sunday, with the U.S. and EU envoys and theGCC brokers in attendance.
The antigovernment protesters in the squares of change and freedom rejected the GCC deal, with spokesmen saying Yemen is witnessing a popular uprising not a political crisis.
