One person was killed and six injured when security forces opened fire at a funeral gathering in the Yemeni port city of Aden, eyewitness Fawaz Sharabi said.
Soldiers and police fired at thousands of people accompanying the body of Ahmed al-Darwish, who was killed last June, Sharabi said by phone from Aden. Darwish was arrested last year during a protest by Yemeni separatists in the south. He died in custody and his body was kept as evidence of torture.
