Lebanon: Activists plan to protest outside Military Tribunal Court in Beirut Nov. 23
Activists to rally outside Military Tribunal Court in Beirut, Lebanon, Nov. 23. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to protest outside the Military Tribunal Court in Beirut from 12:30 Nov. 23 to demand justice for victims of the 2021 sectarian clashes. The clashes, which broke out Oct. 14 in the Tayouneh neighborhood of Beirut, left seven people dead and more than 30 others wounded. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.
Authorities will almost certainly increase security to monitor the protest. Localized transport disruptions are likely near the Military Tribunal Court through the afternoon of Nov. 23. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
Advice
Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel and leave the area immediately at the first sign of any confrontation. Allow additional time to reach destinations near the affected area Nov. 23.
