Protesters stormed the headquarters of The Association of Banks in Lebanon on Friday locking one of its gates with a chain and preventing people from entering or leaving the building. Some were arrested by the police. They wanted to denounce the fact that the banks protect, according to them, the money of politicians deemed corrupt.
Lebanon’s private banks reopened on Friday amid boosted security after a two-week closure because of anti-government protests that have paralyzed the country.
The protesters have directed much of their rage at the banks which reopened for the first time in two weeks as the country began to return to normal following mass demonstrations for radical political change.
