When security agencies summon one of the bravest researchers/activists on bogus charges, 6 months later. While Aug4 assassins, bankers/looters, #LokmanSlim killers still roam free & the most corrupt are still in charge. Full support to my friend & @sk_eyes colleague @safieddine00

#Breaking: Lebanese Red Cross says transported 35 people to hospital during riots/protests in northern city of Tripoli, a large jump that comes after security forces opened live fire on people throwing stones.

67 also treated on site, meaning total 102 given medical treatment.

دورية من مخابرات الجيش توجهت الى مبنى قناة "الجديد" في محاولة لتوقيف الصحافي رضوان مرتضى وذلك بعد رفضه المثول امام فرع المخابرات للتحقيق معه بتهم "الإساءة للجيش واختلاق الجرائم بحق المؤسسة العسكرية".

This is the first time Lebanon fully warrants a lockdown. Yet it is the third time Lebanese officials use lockdown as a substitute for policy. The one thing they have escalated in 10 months is how much they insult citizens for not doing enough to make up for the policy void

[Timour Azhari @timourazhari]

Reports Lebanese officials will order a 10-day closure of supermarkets (open for delivery only)

This in a country w/ rising food insecurity, where much of the population live hand-to-mouth

This decision
1. Disregards low-income people
2. Already led to panic-buying/overcrowding

"يقاضون معارضاً وكأنهم لا يزالون يخافونه رغم عقد امضاه في المنفى. يبحثون في ملاحقة محطة تلفزيونية وكأنهم يأبهون بما يقال في التلفزيون أو في #الصحافة أو حتى في الشارع. يطالبون صحافياً بالاعتذار عما قاله أو لم يقله، وكأنهم فكّروا هم يوماً في الاعتذار عما يفعلونه" - #سمير_قصير

90% of Syrian refugees in Lebanon now live in EXTREME poverty, UN says.

The Syrian community in Lebanon has long been vulnerable& marginalised but it’s getting much worse with crisis.

Extreme poverty among refugees from Syria is up 55% since 2019.
