Lebanese activists find new ways to protest government while respecting social distancing
People in Lebanon had refused to end their protests even though a new government was announced in January this year, led by Prime Minister Hassan Diab, a 60-year-old professor at the American University of Beirut.
Many Lebanese demand a technocratic government saying they are tired of the corruption and the never-ending economic crisis. Protesters carry placards, wave Lebanese flags, and shout anti-government slogans during a demonstration in Martyrs' Square in Beirut . An aerial view shows the Lebanese capital Beirut's Martyrs Square almost deserted on March 26.
Lebanon has been without a government since former prime minister Saad Hariri resigned in October due to pressure from protesters regarding state corruption.
