Baalbek governor denies NNA report saying curfew imposed on refugees during festivals

Baalbek-Hermel Governor Bashir Khoder denied a report published by the state-run National News Agency stating that he issued a decision to impose a curfew on the Syrian refugees during the upcoming festivals.

 

Earlier in the day, the agency said that the governor issued a decision to ban Syrian refugees from leaving their homes between the hours of 6 pm and 6 am for the duration of the upcoming Baalbek International Festival.

 
Several other towns across Lebanon ​imposed curfews on Syrian refugees in June after eight suicide bombers attacked the northeastern border village of al-Qaa, killing five people and wounding dozens more.
