These Cities Around The World Are Holding Solidarity Protests For Lebanon!
After London and Paris stood with Lebanon on the 19th of January against the police's use of excessive force against the protesters, 21 other cities around the world are joining the Lebanese fight.
In what may be the biggest supportive protests yet, the enthusiasm of the expats is obvious and the message is clear.
Meghterbin Mejtemiin is coordinating between the organizers of these protests, which are all under the slogan: With You All the Way.
The original list included 20 cities until three more decided to join. As we witnessed during the revolution with the expats, more cities would be joining in until then.
