The employees of BUS Company staged Monday a sit-in outside the electricity authority in Halba, to express solidarity with the company’s director Samy Qodsi, who have been receiving direct threats from one of the regions’ deputies.
The employees stressed that the current situation is unacceptable and that they will not work unless the supervising engineer is present.
The protesters stressed that all work at the company is suspended until the issue is resolved, raising question marks over the role of the security forces who have been incapable of protecting an employee who was previously attacked by the same people in the region of al-Abdeh.
They also emphasized that they will protect their director by all means possible and will not allow the current situation to last.
