The Daily Star - SSNP supporters protest in Beirut over unresolved 2008 killings, May 10 2012


BEIRUT: Supporters of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party protested Thursday outside the Justice Palace in Beirut over the unresolved 2008 slaying of at least 11 SSNP loyalists.
Holding pictures of the victims, some 40 protesters, including 20 lawyers, staged a morning sit-in outside the Beirut Justice Palace and chanted slogans demanding authorities bring those behind the “Halba massacre” to justice.
At least 11 people were killed in Halba, in the north Lebanon region of Akkar, on May 10, 2008. The incident was linked to street fighting in Beirut between pro- and anti-government gunmen that erupted on May 7 over a Cabinet decision to dismantle Hezbollah’s telecommunications network.
“Failure to bring justice and hold the killers accountable is a disgrace to our justice system,” some of the protesters chanted.
