"We want freedom, we want a transitional presidential council to be formed soon... we want to build a modern civil state," the protestors yelled.
The 69-year-old embattled president was airlifted to Riyadh for treatment, a day after a shelling hit a mosque inside his presidential palace in Sanaa and injured him as well as several other senior officials.
Government officials said Sunday that Saleh would deliver a speech to the nation within 48 hours.
Yemen has been rocked with continuing protests across the country since January, calling for ousting Saleh.
