Civil society activists staged Monday a sit-in, blocking the road between Banks Street and Beirut’s Riad al-Solh Square to mark the one-year anniversary of the anti-government movement spurred by the garbage crisis.
Last summer several demonstrations were held in Beirut’s Riad El-Soleh Square to protest the government’s failure in resolving Lebanon’s pressing waste crisis.
The protests often broke out into riots, leaving dozens of protesters and police wounded.
