Another day in Yemen

Its hard to figure out exactly whats happening in countries with a semi-censored media. From what I can gather from this report in the Yemen Times, (written in an atmosphere of renewed governmental pressure since the imprisonment of Abdulkareem Al_kaiwani) a) security forces killed two people in October b) their case against the intelligence department offical was repeatedly delayed and postponed c) a crowd has gathered outside the court d) on the third adjounment of the case, the crowd staged a sit in e) a policeman started shooting into the air to dispurse the crowd f) a passerby holding a baby girl was shot and killed.

See what you get out of the article. A day of horror and outrage was witnessed on Monday, 28 November when Abdurrahman Mohammad Al-Sawka was killed and Hussein Mohammad Karout wounded when a policeman opened fire to disperse a crowd of people gathering in front of the Sira Court in Aden.
