A Yemeni journalist was among those killed when security forces opened fire on protestors in the capital Sana'a yesterday.
Jamal Ahmed al-Sharabi was shot while covering the demonstration for the independent newspaper Al-Masdar.
Reports say that at least 30 people, including children, were killed and many more wounded.
IPI's press freedom manager Anthony Mills said: "We are disturbed by allegations that al-Sharabi may have been killed by security forces... It is unacceptable that journalists reporting on the ongoing uprisings in the Arab world be made to pay with their lives just for doing their job."
