Thousands of women marched toward Yemen's foreign ministry in the capital, Sanaa, Monday, demanding U.N. intervention in the ongoing unrest in the Persian Gulf nation, residents and eyewitnesses said.
The protest comes a day after a female protester became the first woman killed in a demonstration against the government, according to opposition activists.
The women called for sanctions against President Ali Abdullah Saleh and asked that he be tried by the International Criminal Court.
The women also alleged that snipers were on the rooftop of the foreign ministry Sunday.
The protests came hours after gunfire and loud explosions reverberated throughout the capital early Monday.

If either men or women want to protest, I think that's fine.
However, I can't see why it's any worse to shoot a woman who protests that it is to shoot a man.
Lol ....... Ummmmmmm yeahhhh I guess you do have a point JIF.
It's not.
Nobody should die in peaceful protests.
Not even a turtle.
I agree, banasy & I agree with the Yemeni women that Saleh is a butcher who has to be stopped! U.N. needs to intervene!!
It seems like these mindless Tea Partiers have already hijacked this web page, including the troll above who usurped my name. However, I do agree fully with what fernace posted above but, unfortunately, the right-wing thugs in Washington won't in any way allow the U.N. to intervene no matter how brutal the Saleh regime is since Saleh is and has been a stooge for Washington!!!
