Lebanon’s security forces shot at unarmed Beirut protesters: Amnesty International
More than 200 protesters were injured as security forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets and pellets, Amnesty International said.
The Lebanese army and security forces shot at unarmed protesters during largely peaceful demonstrations in the wake of the deadly Beirut port explosion, Amnesty International found.
Tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets over the weekend, demanding the removal of a government widely blamed for the blast at the port last week. On Monday, Prime Minister Hassan Diab announced he and his ministers would be resigning.
