The Association of Public Administrations employees and the Union Coordinating Committee staged on Wednesday a protest outside the Education Ministry, to voice solidarity with the Lebanese Armed Forces.
During the gathering, the protesters chanted the Lebanese national anthem and stood a moment of silence in a show of respect to the soldiers who had fallen during the latest clashes that took place in Tripoli, the north and other regions.
The protesters also addressed politicians, saying that the military institution must not be supported only through speech, but through granting all military personnel, soldiers and high ranking officers, their due rights.
