Yemen: Huge new protests as protesters reject GCC peace plan.

Huge protests happened again in Yemen after Friday prayers. Large protests took place both in the capital Sanaa and the southern city of Taiz. However, there are both pro-Saleh demonstratioons as well as protests fighting for his removal.

Anti-government protesters rejected the Gulf Cooperation Council plan for Saleh to step down and transfer power to his deputy. The plan would also offer immunity to Saleh and his family from prosecution. A large opposiiton block is attending talks in Ryadh but so far no agreement has been reached.
