Thousands in Yemen protest against Koran burning
STORY: The protest was organized by the Houthi movement that controls much of northwestern Yemen including the capital Sanaa since late 2014.
Protesters held up copies of the Koran as they chanted slogans denouncing the burning of the Koran.
Other protesters waved daggers, pistols and AK-47 rifles.
Protests have raged across Iran and Iraq after Denmark and Sweden allowed the burning of the Koran under rules protecting free speech. Protesters in Iraq set the Swedish embassy in Baghdad alight on Thursday.
The two protesters were from a group that calls itself "Danish Patriots," which held a similar demonstration last week and livestreamed the events on Facebook.
