Wounded in Field Hospital in Change Square of Sana'a

SUMMARY:

They were protesting peacefully started from Change Square and ended at Algeri street where Ahmed Ali's office is located at. The protesters were attacked by rocks throwed at them from rooftops of a house of one of the personal guards to Ah...med Ali, called Sofan -As it was mentioned-. They were all guards in civilan uniforms. As an act of defence, the protesters threw back some of the rocks that hurt some of them in the head and shoulders. As a result of that, someone from the same house -Sofan's house- fired live bullets on the protesters from a window, where he injured three people in their legs. Seconds later, sewage water was used to disperse the protesters and then they threw some gas canister on the crowd. As the protesters were calling for help and trying to get the wounded protesters into the ambulances to the filed hospital, security forces blocked them from transporting the wounded. The protesters then took their fellow injured protesters to a nearby mosque called Al-Rahman Mosque. Republican guards, security forces and thugs surrounded the Mosque and wanted to break in take the injured in governmental ambulances -kidnap them-. They sent out an appeal for community members to help out. Sheikh Fayez Al-Ojari arrived with some other community members and they helped protect the Mosque, where security forces started backing out and that gave the community members a chance to rescue the wounded to ambulances and transport them to the field hospital; they were about 30 injured protesters.
