Sanaa–One protester was shot dead and five wounded in clashes with Yemeni government supporters near the capital Sanaa's university campus on Saturday, an AFP correspondent reported.
The death, the first in Sanaa in a week of similar clashes, came as government supporters, armed with guns, batons and rocks, tried to break into the campus and students responded by hurling stones.
The AFP reporter saw the body of the student, hit by a bullet, as the clashes raged outside the university.
Police did not intervene but blocked the roads leading to the campus.
On Friday, at least four anti-regime protesters were wounded by supporters of President Ali Abdullah Saleh who attacked the demonstration armed with batons and axes.
Students have tried for the past week to march on the presidential palace but have been intercepted each day by stone-throwing regime supporters.
