Lebanon: University professors to protest in Beirut, March 5

University professors plan to stage a sit-in outside the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Beirut from 11:00 March 5. Protesters are demanding greater pay. Dozens of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Ministry of Education and Higher Education through the afternoon of March 5. Clashes between police and protesters, while unlikely, remain possible, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
