Civil Defense volunteers continue their sit-in

2^min

Civil Defense volunteers continued on Thursday their sit-in in the Riad al-Solh Square coinciding with the Cabinet session at the Grand Serail.

The volunteers said that they are awaiting for the implementation of promises made by Minister of Interior Nouhad Machnouq and Civil Defense Director General Raymond Khattar.

They added that they will wait for the Cabinet session to end to hear “the good news.”

Earlier this month, Civil Defense volunteers agreed not to leave to Syria after receiving promises making their full-time employment demands a first priority at the next cabinet’s meeting.

Civil Defense volunteers had previously announced their bid to head to Syria, joining the humanitarian organizations there, after the Lebanese officials failed to meet their demands.

Before Departing to Syria, the volunteers had staged a sit-in in downtown Beirut, where they disclosed that “some officials” had urged them to back down on their decision.

The volunteers had been holding protests to demand the Cabinet to pass the decrees necessary to make them full-time employees with financial and social security benefits.
