Several demonstrators held a sit-in in front of the ISF station on Damascus road on Wednesday, to protest the arbitrary summons of those who had raided the Social Affairs Ministry on November 26. Ali Abbas, Elie Haykal, Charbel Kahy, Amani el-Roz, Haitham Arbid, Sali Hafiz, Yehia Masri are set to be questioned by the ISF.
