Activists from Utopia release hot-air balloon in Tripoli

A group of activists from the non-governmental organization Utopia painted on Sunday a wall across the Abdel Hamid Karameh roundabout in Tripoli, and raised a banner with the slogan of their campaign in preparation for releasing a hot-air balloon.

The campaign of Utopia aims at stressing the importance of building a state that bears its responsibilities and maintains security and stability in Tripoli as well as arresting those involved in the twin blasts that targeted the city.

On Friday the 23rd of August, two explosions rocked the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli near the al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques, leaving 45 killed and almost 500 others injured.
