Around 3,000 people are protesting in Yemen for a fifth consecutive day to demand political reforms and the removal of the country’s US-allied president.
A small contingent of police tried to disperse demonstrators using tear gas and batons but the protesters continued their march from Sanaa University towards the centre of the capital.
The demonstrators – mainly university students and rights activists – chanted slogans against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, including “Down with the president’s thugs”.
A heavy police presence and about 2,000 pro-government supporters waited for the protesters in the city centre.
The demonstration is expected to get larger as hundreds of people join it as it moves through the city.
