Sana'a, Apr 2, 2011- At least seven anti-Saleh protesters were wounded in Yemen's western port of Hodeida during an attempt by Yemen's security forces to enter a sit-in at the center of Hodeida where thousands of protesters have been demonstrating against President Ali Abdullah Saleh for two months.

Sources said that the police forces attacked the protesters using batons and firing live bullets in the air to disperse the protesters wounding seven of them.

President Saleh's regime has been facing nationwide protests in 15 provinces demanding the fall of his regime since two months.
