Protestors target Diab's house

Around a hundred protesters gathered outside Prime Minister-designate Hassan Diab’s residence in Talet al-Khayat on Saturday, the 73rd day of nationwide protests, calling for him to step down.

Many of the demonstrators had made the journey from Tripoli by bus to demand Diab’s resignation. Security forces blocked some roads leading to Diab’s home with metal barricades.
