Security services and the army moved additional forces to the squares of the Fallen and Riyad al-Solh in Beirut to restore order after the pogroms staged by groups of unknown people.
This is reported RIA Novosti.
The army and police cordoned off the gathering places of peaceful demonstrators and took control of the situation. Several people who participated in the arson attacks, as well as those who attacked journalists and citizens, were detained.
“These people are Shiites from Amal and Hezbollah. They beat us, girls and journalists who tried to pass the picture. But people are returning to the square and will continue the rally until the resignation of the government”, – told Adnan, a participant in the peaceful demonstration.
