FPM supporters rally to defend Aoun

Free Patriotic Movement supporters gathered Thursday morning outside the Baabda Justice Palace in defense of President Michel Aoun.

Dozens chanted, “All of them,” which is a slogan regularly used by protesters against the Lebanese political class – Aoun included.

“We want to hold accountable those who are corrupt. But there remain clean hands, such as those of Michel Aoun,” one protester said. Many carried pictures of Aoun and said the president was a “red line” that cannot be crossed.
