The website of Phalange MP Nadim Gemayel was hacked on Sunday and a video showing the clash between his bodyguards and activists was posted on it.
A statement appeared under the video addressing Gemayel. “Lock out your dogs,” it said.
On Friday, Gemayel said his convoy was attacked by angry protesters opposed to the extension of the parliament's term.
“While passing through the neighborhood of Ashrafiyeh, a crowd of angry people groundlessly attacked my convoy with sticks, stones and tomatoes,” he said, estimating the crowd to be NGO Nasawiya activists.
But Nasawiya, a feminist collective, slammed on Saturday the lawmaker, saying his bodyguards attacked the activists in a “militia-like act.”
The NGO also accused Gemayel in its statement of playing the role of the victim.
