Now Lebanon - Kataeb students protest against “Hezbollah’s practices - September 08, 2011


Students belonging to the Kataeb Party rallied on Thursday evening in Beirut to protest against “Hezbollah’s practices” on Lebanese territory.
“Hundreds of youths marched from the Kataeb headquarters in Saifi toward the Grand Serail [in Downtown Beirut] to protest against daily violations committed by Hezbollah in Lebanon,” according to a statement issued by Kataeb.
The statement said that “the youths have had it with Hezbollah’s breaches and use of arms.”
“The demonstrators sent a letter to Prime Minister Najib Mikati, in which they objected to the silence of the Lebanese state vis-a-vis [Hezbollah’s] daily violations in areas like [the Jbeil town of] Lasa as well as the Metn, Jezzine, Keserwan and other [areas].”
The protesters called on the Lebanese state to “prevent any [non-state] party from using arms” in the country.
Kataeb bloc MP Sami Gemayel last week accused Hezbollah of being responsible for creating “its own statelet” and “acting like the Zionists” in Lebanon.
Several incidents occurred in towns populated by Hezbollah supporters, such as Lasa, where residents assaulted security forces and a Maronite delegation on August 19.

March 14 parties have been calling for ending Hezbollah’s arms use.
