Collective Action
Several marches and covoys heading to the port as a commemoration of the Beirut Blast
Thousands of residents are participating in several marches around Beirut, which will all converge to the same meeting point in the port. Some marches witnessed shoving between protesters and security forces, the first of which was in front of the General Security headquarters, where security forces blocked the road near their headquarters to avoid protests asking to lift immunities of their director Abbas Ibrahim.
