Police in Lebanon moved in to clear protesters who had staged a sit-in at the environment ministry. Their action highlighting an ongoing rubbish disposal crisis was the latest in a series of protests at the country’s political paralysis.
The demonstrators called for the resignation of Environment Minister Mohamad Al Machnouk.
Police moved in after protesters ignored an ultimatum from the authorities to leave.
The head of Green Party, who witnessed what happened, sympathises with their cause but not their methods.
