Lebanese protestors are seen heading to downtown #Beirut, ground zero for Lebanon’s October uprising, 1st to celebrate #LaborDay & to protest the politico-economic situation in the country.
More photos of #LebanonProtests, this time from Kfar-Roummane, south of Lebanon. The city remains a stronghold for the Lebanese Communist Party and has played a major role in defying #Hezbollah-Amal authority in the south, mainly since protests erupted.
From the mountainous village of ِAley, a protest organized by #LiHaqqi - a leftist movement calling for social and political change & and one of the main movements participating in the protests that erupted on October 17.
In an important gesture on #LeborDay, #LebanonProtests chant in salute of foreign domestic workers, that are often subject to abuse in Lebanese households.
From downtown #Beirut, a protestor carries a sign that says: “You can rob us of everything .. except for hope,” in reference to the citizens bank deposits that were syphoned by the political ruling elite to finance their sectarian clientelist networks.
@LebarmyOfficial’s excessive use of force against peaceful civilian protestors in Hamra, #Beirut. @usembassybeirut previously condemned violent protests in Tripoli while turning a blind eye to the army’s continuous crackdown on protestors.
