SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Tens of
thousands of Yemenis are protesting in the capital Sanaa demanding prosecution
of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Chanting, "The people want to
prosecute the murderer," angry protesters gathered Monday in front of
house of newly inaugurated President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
On Saturday, Hadi was sworn in as
president as part of a power-transfer deal that gave Saleh immunity from
prosecution in exchange for stepping down.
Hundreds of street protesters died
in crackdowns by the security forces and other violence during a year of
political turmoil.
The protesters on Saturday were
angered by a farewell ceremony for Saleh in which he pledged to support the new
president.
