Employees in the education sector plan to protest outside the UNICEF building in Beirut from 10:00 Dec. 2. Protesters are denouncing the alleged arbitrary dismissal of hundreds of teachers and worsening conditions in the sector. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the UNICEF building the morning of Dec. 2. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
