People are being silenced in Lebanon too!

I wrote a while ago about a Pro-democracy protest in front of the Syrian Embassy in Beirut that turned violent. This time  some Syrian Kurds in Beirut protested with the support of the Lebanese police, so they didn't get attacked at the embassy. But later in that say members of Lebanese intelligence went to beat them up? What is the Lebanese intelligence suddenly working for Bashar Al Assad?  It blows my mind that one part of Lebanese society is pro-democracy for Syria but when people try to express it they get beaten up in some shape or form.

The second part of this story is that tensions in Lebanon have gotten so high, they are afraid of imploding into civil war so anything that can cause tension between people is silenced in hopes to avoid more fighting.  This means rights are being eroded. Movies supposed to show at a film festival being pulled because of fears.

It's no wonder my mom-in-law thinks some of what I post is propaganda. She couldn't dare to say anything otherwise, it's too dangerous. If anything saying I'm posting propaganda may keep her safe. Bless her soul, brave woman who's seen too much war and pain in her lifetime.
