Collective Action
Protesters take the streets for the 10th day
Demonstrators in Lebanon blocked roads and trickled into streets across the country for a tenth consecutive day Saturday, defying what they said were attempts by Hizbullah to defuse their movement.
The demonstrators -- who have thronged towns and cities across Lebanon since October 17 -- are demanding the removal of the entire political class, accusing many across different parties of systematic corruption.
Numbers have declined since October 20, when hundreds of thousands took over Beirut and other cities in the largest demonstrations in years, but could grow again over the weekend.
