Residents Block Akkar-Syria Road with Tent to Protest Arrest of Villager

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Residents of the Akkar plain town of Tal Andeh on Sunday blocked the international highway linking northern Lebanon to Syria in protest at the Syrian authorities' arrest of town resident Samer Ahmed al-Nuaim, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.

The protesters erected a tent in the middle of the street, stressing that they will not remove it before the release of Nuaim.

The agency did not mention the reasons behind Nuaim's arrest.

Earlier on Sunday, an army unit intervened in a bid to reopen the road but was faced by the residents' rejection, NNA said.

“Some of them pelted the army force with stones, prompting army troops to fire teargas,” NNA added.

That's funny bro, yet you support a group that basically spits in the army's face let alone acts like they're the government. I'm confused...hmm uneducated responses, is it really limited to them alone? food for thought.

lol, who says I have any master? I find your greatest weakness is you ASSume I have one, frankly I don't. IF they were working jointly with the army then why on earth did HA do nothing when the kidnappings were happening, and as soon as there's a weapons depot explosion in Bekaa, the army was not allowed enter? That doesn't sound like working together to me.
