Dozens of protesters rallied Wednesday outside the Beirut Justice Palace to demand the release of Tarek al-Mallah, who is accused of attacking Social Affairs Minister Rashid Derbas’ car during an anti-trash demonstration one day earlier.
“Tarek was speaking for all of us,” a protester said from the Justice Palace. “His anger reflects the people’s current mood of anger in the country over the trash crisis.” Mallah was arrested Tuesday hours after he allegedly attacked Derbas as the minister was traveling in his car near the Interior Ministry on Spears Street in Hamra.
