Burj Hammoud’s “Cinema Plaza” was shut down under
the state’s order for “posing a threat to public morality”. The move is not
unprecedented since the state has shut down many movie theaters before,
including “Cinema Monaco”.
In details, the public morality bureau decided to
arrest 36 people present in the cinema and subjected them to homosexuality
tests that involved touching their private parts.
In this context, a social activist told LBCI that “vulnerable
people” in Lebanon, such as Palestinians, foreign workers and homosexuals, are lately
coming under attack, adding that he will file an objection with the medical
syndicate against homosexual tests.
