Death toll of Yemen riots on the rise

Hundreds of Yemeni students protested on Sunday for the eighth straight day in Sanaa, while police shot dead a protester in the south. In the capital, students gathered outside the university's campus shouting slogans demanding the departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, AFP said. Some 100 Saleh supporters staged a counter-rally across the street, and police set up a cordon to separate the two camps.

On Sunday, police shot dead a protester in the southern regional capital of Aden, medics and witnesses said, raising the death toll in the restive city to 11 since February 13.
