Commenting on the harsh attacks perpetrated by Lebanese Army and Security Forces members against demonstrators at the Riad El-Solh Square, the leader of the ‘Independence Movement’ Michel Moawad tweeted on his personal ‘Twitter’ account:

“What the demonstrators in Downtown Beirut were subject to is not acceptable and is to be condemned. Any return of the oppressing security regime’s practices has to be strongly confronted.”

ما تعرض له المتظاهرون في وسط العاصمة مرفوض ومدان. اي استعادة لممارسات النظام الامني القمعية لا يجوز التساهل معها!! pic.twitter.com/qkEpO81lcs
