.- At least 85 people were injured in clashes between Yemeni police and protesters calling for the downfall of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, in the coastal city of Al Hudaida, in western Yemen, according to medical sources. The same sources told Efe that 22 people had gunshot wounds and were admitted to two hospitals in Al Hudaida, located in the Red Sea.
The other 63 injured were injured by the blows inflicted by the police who used batons to disperse the demonstrators. Several witnesses to the incident reported that the clashes erupted when demonstrators marched from the square in which were concentrated in the center of Al Hudaida to a street that connects to the main entrance of the city, where they set up barriers.
Since last January 27, Yemen has been the scene of sporadic demonstrations against Saleh's regime, which gained intensity from mid-February and now held daily.
