The employees of Al-Youssef hospital in Halba, Akkar, closed the main entrance, to protect the arrest of a number of their administrative colleagues for interrogations into the case of the death of a child, Abdel Raouf Mounir al-Hawli.
The state-run National News Agency later reported that the employees were released after a short while.
Four-month-old Child Abdel Raouf al-Hawli died earlier this week after hospitals of Rahhal and el-Yousef refused to receive him, according to his father Mounir al-Hawli.
