Protesters in Lebanon Vandalize Banks, Demand Their Money Back

Protesters in Lebanon have attacked several bank buildings, set tires alight and smashed windows to demand their money back.
The angry demonstrations took place on Thursday in a suburb outside the capital, Beirut, and targeted the branches of Bank Audi, Bank of Beirut and Byblos Bank in Sin el-Fil in Mount Lebanon Governorate.

The protesters were angry about financial controls which have destroyed many people’s life savings.

People demanded the return of their money, also calling for officials involved in corruption, including the central bank Governor Riad Salameh, to be held accountable.
