Ras Baalbeck sit in to protest villager's kidnapping

Ras Baalbeck folk staged a sit-in to protest the kidnapping of a villager amid news of early release of two other Syrian and Turkmen victims.

Protesters were soon joined by the municipal head, the bishop and parish priest who stated that the kidnapped victim is an elderly person badly in need of medical attention reiterating that no ransom will be paid since we refuse to be treated as zhmmi second class citizens.
