Lebanon: Activists plan to protest outside Palais de Justice in Beirut April 17

Activists plan to protest outside the Palais de Justice in Beirut from 12:00 April 17. Protesters are demanding full access to their bank deposits amid the country's deteriorating economic situation. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Palais de Justice the afternoon of April 17. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
