-Anti-government protests are swelling in Yemen amidst U.S.-backed President Ali Abdullah Saleh's refusal to step down after more than 32 years in power. On Monday, dozens were wounded after state forces opened fire on demonstrators in Marib province. As unrest grows, the Yemeni government is cracking down on international media coverage of the protests. Four journalists, including two U.S. citizens, were arrested and deported on Monday. Democracy Now! interviews Yemeni activist and blogger in Sana'a, Atiaf Alwazir, and to Gregory Johnsen, a Near Eastern studies scholar at Princeton University currently in Cairo.
