On 14 Mar 16, protesters from the You Stink movement briefly blocked several major roads that lead to Beirut, stating that their move is aimed at rejecting the landfills that will be established by the state. Police pushed dozens of protesters to the side of the highway in Dora and in another area in Hazmieh to stop them from blocking the roads during the early morning rush hour. In another area, demonstrators partly blocked the Khaldeh highway but it was reopened by police. http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/204463-you-stink-blocks-roads-to-prot...
