Yemen: Detainees' families continue sit-in outside presidency palace

SANA'A

Dozens of Yemeni women continued their sit-in Saturday morning outside the Presidency Palace demanding the release of their relatives detained in the aftermath of conflict between the government and rebels in Sa'ada, north of Yemen.

Families asked in a letter to President Saleh for an immediate release of detainees who "have been arbitrarily disappeared over events in Sa'ada."

Demonstrators decided to continue their sit-in until their requests are met, accusing the Presidency's security of not delivering their letters to the president.
