By Fatik Al:Rodaini

Sana'a, July 27, 2011- The American embassy in Sana'a renewed in a statement posted on the internet its stance that peaceful protesters have the right to demonstrate and should be allowed to gather without fear of violent reprisal.

The statement came after the violence by Yemeni security forces toward protesters who gathered on Wednesday in front of the U.S. Embassy building demanding the ouster of Yemen's president Saleh's regime.
