Yemen has freed scores of Shi'ite prisoners in a bid to cement a fragile truce with northern rebels, officials said Tuesday.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh declared an end to the government's long-running war with rebels in the north last month and the prisoner release is seen as an important step towards supporting the ceasefire. (Reuters)
