The police fired on protesters from the movement, thousands of whom had gathered in the southern port city to demand independence on the first anniversary of ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh’s ouster, Fathi Ben Lazraq said.

A rival rally was held in the same spot by members of the Al-Islah (reform) party, in support of unity.
