The Association of Muslim Scholars and the Islamic Group staged Sunday a sit-in in Riad al-Solh Square to protest against the referral of Sheikh Bassam al-Tarras to the public prosecution after he was arrested on the backdrop of terror-related accusations.
Last month, former Mufti for Rashaya affairs Sheikh Bassam al-Tarras was briefly arrested over suspicion of his involvement in the bomb explosion that targeted the Ksara roundabout in Zahle, killing one woman and injuring several others.
