Civil society activists gather outside Ministry of Environment

Civil society activists marched on Sunday toward the Ministry of Environment’s building, after staging a silent sit-in outside the building for one hour in solidarity with the activists going on hunger strike.

The hunger strike being undertaken by activists is still ongoing outside the Ministry of Environment despite consensus being reached on a solution for the waste manage crisis.

Several activists started a hunger strike on Thursday (September 03) outside the Environment Ministry’s building in Beirut to press for Minister Mohammad Mashnouq's resignation. The protesters set up tents on the pavement facing the building.

The move came two days after riot police cleared dozens of "You Stink “activists who had occupied the environment ministry to press the minister to resign over his failure to deal with the unprecedented waste management crisis.
