2 injured in protest in northern Lebanon: report

Share:

At least two people were wounded on Saturday when unknown assailants opened fire at a protest rally in Tripoli, a northern city of Lebanon, official National News Agency reported.

Demonstrators held a sit-in in Abdel-Hamid Karami Square and blocked the road with burning tires, holding banners to protest against the arrest of a man named Shadi al-Mawlawi, who allegedly has contact with “terrorist group.”

They demanded the immediate release of al-Mawlawi, threatening to take escalated measures, according to the report.

Local security authorities accused al-Mawlawi of contacting a ” terrorist group,” saying they managed to arrest him on Saturday.

As a result, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Miqati discussed the situation in Tripoli with local army commander and head of the security services, demanding them to restore calm in the city and control the security situation.

    “Tripoli, a northern city of Lebanon” !!!  Who the hell writes these things?
    It’s the second biggest city OF LEBANON after Beirut, and ‘somebody’ is always trying to destroy it. !! (Who or what is that ‘Local security authority?’)
    But these people, with guns blazing and road-blocking disturb the daily lives of ALL citizens. All sects living there.
    How many women do you see in these crowds of assholes?? NONE. Women are sitting in fear in the dark listening to the guns, afraid to go to market on streets filled with scowling or hooting beards, and babies are crying with the palpable fear and angst of a whole city. In fact, demonstrators become terrorists because of the way they demonstrate, and who they exclude from it.
    And EVERY Friday it begins again … a work-up in a supposedly religious place, and a chanting horde takes to the street – usually yelling against one who cannot hear them or will never listen to them.
    Too many people without a job, and nothing to do except terrorize citizens. In the second biggest city of a country.
