Tyre Municipality police, workers take hostages at SGBL bank
A number of Tyre Municipality policemen and workers on Tuesday stormed the city’s SGBL bank branch, decrying that they have not been paid their salaries for a second month in a row.
“They took the employees hostage and closed the doors, asking the bank’s manager to release their salaries,” al-Jadeed TV said.
“We won’t leave until we get paid our salaries. We have families that need to eat and we cannot continue like this. We will spend our night at the bank until our salaries are released,” one of them said.
The policemen and workers also placed tires and gasoline at the entrance of the bank, threatening to set them ablaze along with the bank branch.
