REPORT: “You Stink Campaign” activists march towards Banque du Liban

2^min

The “You Stink” campaign activists staged on Tuesday a march from downtown Beirut to the Banque du Liban in protest against corruption in the country.

The activists gathered outside the Finance Ministry building in downtown and later arrived at the Banque du Liban in the Hamra region.

Soon after their arrival, activist Asaad Zebian was arrested, prompting protesters to block roads in front of the Banque du Liban in protest against the detention.

The Internal Security Forces later said that Zebian was arrested for defiling the Lebanese flag.

The walls surrounding the Interior Ministry, which is located in front of the Central Bank, are painted with the Lebanese flag.

The protesters later headed towards the Interior Ministry's main entrance at Sanayeh to stage a sit-in.

Zebian was released from custody in the afternoon and the activists ended their sit-in.

The “You Stink” campaign gained fame in the wake of the eruption of the waste management crisis.

It carried out several protests against the issue and evolved into a movement protesting against the political corruption in the country.
