Collective Action

Protesters block the Tripoli - Beirut highway to demand security forced to accelerate their search for the missing victims following the sinking of a migrant boat

The Tripoli-Beirut highway was blocked with trucks from both directions by angry demonstrators dissatisfied with the slow progress of rescue efforts. The protesters blocked the road with trucks and called on “all the residents of Tripoli and the North to take to the streets” with them.
