Protesters called for National Social Security Fund employees involved in embezzlement to be prosecuted, saying that the charges already brought against several NSSF members were not enough.
The demonstration, held outside the Justice Palace in Adlieh, coincided with the trial hearing of NSSF Technical Committee head Samir Aoun. Around a dozen protesters, including judges, gathered to denounce what they said was a lack of comprehensive action against the misappropriation of funds at the state body.
The group organizing the demonstration has dubbed itself “The United Alliance.”
