Protesters stage a sit-in outside the Cybercrime Bureau headquarters in solidarity with activist Tarek Abou Saleh

Protesters stage a sit-in outside the Cybercrime Bureau headquarters in solidarity with activist Tarek Abou Saleh. The Cybercrime Bureau summoned “Lubnan Yantafid" activist Tarek Abou Saleh for interrogation following a lawsuit filed by MP Faisal Karami. Abou Saleh was not informed of the direct reason for the summons, but it is likely that the Tripoli representative was alarmed by some of Abu Saleh’s social media posts regarding Karami's storage of diesel and his attempts to ride the wave of the revolution.
