Security Personnel Jailed in Yemen after Chanting Anti-Government Slogan


Commander of the Central Security Forces in Dhamar province has ordered to jail 20 security personnel after they had chanted the slogan: “the people want to oust the regime,” which is being said by the anti-government protesters across the republic, informed sources said.
The soldiers were sent to a military prison, the sources said. However, a relative of one of the jailed personnel said that the soldiers are supporting the demands of the protesters and sit-inners demanding the departure of President Saleh across the country.
“They asked me to convey a message to the tens of thousands of the sit-inners in the square of change outside Sana’a University assuring them the soldiers will join them once they are released,” the relative said.
The information comes as many republican guards and central security forces have recently joined the anti-government protests in various cities in protest against the deadly crackdown on those demanding the ouster of the government.
The jailed soldiers were also quoted as saying that the demand of the protesters is the same as of the armed forces’, as they condemned the attacks on the protesters at Sana’a University on Friday that killed at least 42 and injured hundreds, tens seriously.
