The sounds of bullets and dushka weapons were heard throughout the city of Seiyun to disperse the demonstrators and chase them between residential neighborhoods, and some of them were flogged with rifle butts, threatening to liquidate and arrest them as subversive demonstrations threaten the security and stability of the country, according to Interior Minister Major General Ibrahim Haidan’s speech during his meeting yesterday with the security committee in the valley and the desert loyal to the Brotherhood.
