A Yemeni journalist who was shot in the face by a sniper died from his wounds five days after the attack.
At the time, Hassan al-Wadhaf was covering protests in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, for the Arabic Media Agency.
He is the third journalist to be killed in Yemen this year, according to the International Press Institute. The others, Mohamed Yahia Al-Malayia and Jamal Ahmed al-Sharabi, died from injuries sustained while covering anti-government protests in March.
Violence has escalated as protestors calling for an end to the rule of President Ali Abdullah Saleh have been attacked with live ammunition.
Journalists covering these events are in continual danger, and also face the threat of arrest or attack for their work.
