Against repression campaign

A group of online activists have called for a peaceful sit-in at the Samir Kassir Square in Downtown Beirut on Tuesday, July 24 to protest the recent wave of dissident arrests.
The organizers launched a campaign labelled “against repression” because "Lebanon is facing an unprecedented decline in freedom of expression in all forms.”
