Wife of Sheikh Mohammad Yaacoub and tens of other women set up tents on Tuesday at the entrances of Hezbollah deputies’ offices on the airport road, to protest against the ongoing detention of her son Hassan Yaacoub.
Yaacoub is in detention on charges of his involvement in the abduction of the son of deposed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. His supporters have been holding near daily protests to demand his release since his arrest last December.
Yaacoub's father was accompanying Imam Moussa al-Sadr and another man when they disappeared in Libya in 1978.
