Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Sanaa in Yemen, demanding that the country's out-going president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, faces justice for ordering the deaths of protesters.
Holding posters of the president with a noose around his neck, protesters chanted, "We will not let you escape" and "Mr Saleh must stand in front of a judge".
The protests followed Saleh's decision to stay in Yemen despite being offered immunity when signing an accord that relinquishes power to the vice president.
His decision has led to speculation that he is intent of maintaining his power. The son and nephew of Saleh, who lead the Republic Guard and Central Security respectively, have reportedly clamped down on dissent within their officers.
