Bekaa Residents March on Masnaa Crossing to Condemn Syria Repression

Dozens of residents of several Bekaa Valley towns staged a demonstration Tuesday after the evening Tarawih prayers at the Masnaa border crossing between Lebanon and Syria to “voice solidarity with the Syrian people and condemn the repression” of Syrian protesters at the hands of their country’s regime, Voice of Lebanon radio network (100.5) reported.

The demonstrators stood a few meters away from the border crossing, carrying banners and shouting slogans against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, amid a heavy security deployment, the radio network said.

According to information obtained by VOL, several Bekaa dignitaries have also called for a “major demonstration” to be staged Friday in support of the Syrian people.
