Relatives of people who were arrested for various reasons, such as supporting armed groups in Syria and planning bomb attacks in Lebanon for this purpose, protested in downtown Beirut on Sunday.
The Islamic Group, a Lebanese Sunni Muslim political party, organized the demonstration.
The protesters claimed that their family members were arrested and unfairly accused because they were Sunni. They also protested the conditions in Lebanese prisons and alleged that the arrests were taken under pressure from Hezbollah and Iran. The families asked for the release of their imprisoned relatives, considering the recent developments in neighboring Syria.
