Ali Salah Ahmed arrested

The journalist Ali Salah Ahmed was arrested at Sanaa airport on his return from a visit to Germany, and was forcibly taken away to an unknown location. His arrest was apparently linked to his support for the street protests. After being fired as programme director at the state-owned TV station, he worked for the privately-owned satellite TV station Suhail, which supports the opposition party Islah. The station has been providing live coverage of the demonstrations.
