The Daily Star - Hospital staff strike to support beaten co-worker - September 08, 2011

BEIRUT: Employees at the Baalbek Public Hospital staged a “symbolic” 30-minute strike Wednesday to protest the beating of a colleague.
The National News Agency said the employees were angry about the treatment of Musa Hammoud, an ambulance driver, who was severely beaten and received injuries to his eye and forehead after a car blocked his path while he was transporting LL 260 million, after being tasked to do so by the Health Ministry.
The incident occurred earlier this week in the northern Bekaa. “They blocked my path and forced me to stop, then beat me, damaging the ambulance as well,” Hammoud said. “They claimed I didn’t allow them to pass, then they ran away.”
The hospital’s employees said that the incident represented an attack on all Baalbek hospital employees and called for the perpetrators to be apprehended.
