إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Dozens of supporters of Bashar al-Assad attacked a small rally against the Syrian president and his regime in Beirut on Tuesday, landing at least one protester in hospital, activists told Agence France Presse.
A security official told AFP there had been a clash outside the Syrian embassy in Beirut’s Hamra neighborhood between pro- and anti-Assad demonstrators on Tuesday evening but could not give further details.
Two activists who had attended the rally said around 30 members of local civil society groups gathered outside the embassy to protest against the Syrian regime and were immediately attacked by some 40 belt-wielding Assad supporters.
At least one injured activist was taken to Beirut's Makassed hospital, they said.

Where is the army/police to protect peacefull demonstrators? Have they arrested the attackers? I bet no, because Lebanon cannot inforce anything.

Violent, bloodthirsty sheep, reminds me of Qanso and Qandil walking around with shoes in their hands trying to intidimate people back in the day of the Cedar Revolution, too bad that a part of that revolution became part of the Syrian-Iranian axis and stopped any chance of its long term success, hopefully these people will soon go and 'martyr' themselves for their dear leader Assad.

Where were these anti-Assad when being anti-Assad was desperately needed instead of offering Assad and his cubs the keys to Beirut and calling their "occupation" NECESSARY, LEGAL AND TEMPORARY? Were they busy robbing Beirut from under it's rightful owners' feet? And then these same phonies cry blood when the Grand Mafioso got terminated like a cockroach. But then what do you call low-lives other than that?

I wish that the bashar regime would fall but they wont, (in the future yes, but not now) because the US has given it the green light, so has israel. Their ciriticism in the media is not even enough to fool those who are opportunists in the opposition. The US doesnt care about freedom in the eastern world, all it cares about is having the right puppet. Why else be allied with king abdullah, mubarak etc? This is reality. The syrian people deserve freedom away from the alawite bashari one as well as away from the saudi wahhabi one. But at this point, im afraid they wont get it. It will however come in the future. Bashar el asad and his army doesnt even dare to throw a stone at occupied golan however when it comes to their own people they flex their muscles by killing civilians. DISGUSTING.
