Lebanon: Candles lit in tribute to those injured during 'You Stink' protests

Protesters participating in 'You Stink' protests in Beirut lit candles outside the Government Palace, in tribute to those injured during violent clashes with police forces in recent days, Wednesday. Activists put the candles along the barbed wire outside the Palace, alongside banners in support of the protests. They also cleaned up the mess in the square in preparation for further protests. 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.
