Hundreds rallied in Yemen's capital on Tuesday, anniversary of the 2011 killing of 45 protesters against Ali Abdullah Saleh, demanding that the former president and aides be tried for their deaths. This was at the beginning of a popular uprising against Saleh's three-decade rule inspired by the so-called Arab Spring that had already swept rulers from power in Tunisia and Egypt. Holding up symbolic coffins, Tuesday's demonstrators chanted "** immunity for the killers" and "Saleh and his aides should be put on trial." The demonstration was organised by the youth Revolutionary Council, one of the groups that led the year-long uprising against Saleh.
