Lebanon: Beirut protesters gather for further 'You Stink' protests

Over 1,000 people gathered around Riad El-Solh Square and the American University Hospital in Beirut, Wednesday, for a further day of 'You Stink' protests over the city's waste disposal crisis. Protesters chanted slogans and held banners demanding the government's resignation, while marching through the capital's streets in what has so far been a peaceful day of protest. Clashes with police forces are however expected later on, as has been the case on previous nights. Tensions began earlier this summer after piles of rubbish began to accumulate across the city due to the closure of the Naameh landfill. Since last Saturday, demonstrations have been called each night, ending in scuffles with security forces that have led to an unknown number of detentions. Protests have seen at least one protester killed and multiple other protesters and security forces injured so far.
