Yemenis took to streets in several cities on Thursday against granting President Ali Abdullah Saleh immunity from prosecution.

In the capital Sanaa, protesters marched from Change Square, the focal point of almost a year of anti-Saleh demonstrations, through Al-Siteen street, an AFP correspondent reported.
Other protests were held across the country rejecting the immunity law for Saleh and his aides.

On Sunday, the transitional government that was formed after Saleh signed a plan brokered by Gulf Cooperation council, easing him out of office by the end of February.
The plan was signed last November after fierce clashes between pro and anti-Saleh protesters killed hundreds.
Protesters want those accused of killing demonstrators to be brought to justice.

The parliament is yet to convene to ratify the law.
Under the deal, Saleh handed authority to Vice President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, and the opposition formed a national unity government.

Saleh serves now as an honorary president until polls are held in February to elect Hadi as his successor.
