Pro-Syrian Revolution Gathering in Beirut on Tuesday
An anti-Assad regime movement in Lebanon is scheduled to hold a gathering on Tuesday afternoon in support of Syrian demonstrators.
“Lebanese for the Freedom and the Dignity of the Syrian People” movement called for the gathering to express unity with the people’s “revolution for the sake of dignity, freedom and democracy,” said a statement issued by organizers.
The meeting will be held at 4:00 pm at the formerly-known Arc-en-Ciel hall in Sin el-Fil.
The gathering was scheduled to be held last week at the Bristol hotel in Hamra but was postponed after pro-Assad officials planned to hold a meeting in support of the Syrian regime at the same venue.
On Monday, dozens of supporters of President Bashar Assad gathered in Beirut’s Hamra district to express support for the embattled Syrian president, drowning out a nearby vigil in memory of those killed in two months of unrest.
