Lebanese security forces forcibly removed protesters who used their bodies as roadblocks in central Beirut, Saturday, October 26. Demonstrators trickled back on to the streets across Lebanon on Saturday, despite army efforts to unblock roads, as the protests that have crippled the country entered their 10th day.
A military statement said army and security commanders met to plan ways to reopen main arteries to get traffic flowing again while "safeguarding the safety of protesters." People have closed routes with barriers and sit-ins as part of a wave of unprecedented protests demanding the government resigns.
Banks, schools, and many businesses have shut their doors.
