A number of activists staged Sunday a sit-in in Abdel Hamid Karami Square in the northern city of Tripoli for the third week in a row, to protests against corruption.
Young men and women from across the regions of Tripoli participated in the sit-in, raising the Lebanese flags and several banners calling on the officials to stop neglecting their city and grant them their rights.
A spokesman for the protesters stated that this movement was staged upon an individual and personal initiative to express the people’s demands, adding that they are not connected to any political side or party.
“The national concern has brought us together and the unbearable situation of the country in general and Tripoli in particular, where poverty and unemployment are on the rise,” he stated.
