Both Martyrs’ and Riad al-Solh Squares in central Beirut witnessed confrontations between a number of participants in the “Freedom March” and young men on motorcycles who tried to prevent the participants from advancing, rejecting what they referred to as “all manifestations of anomalies in the streets of Beirut,” National News Agency correspondent reported this evening. A group of people had earlier called for a march in support of liberties to set out at 4:00 p.m. today from Riad al-Solh Square towards the Ministry of Interior in Sanayeh. However, the young men who rejected the march addressed the Minister of the Interior urging him to cancel the march immediately, stressing that they would intercept it and confront its participants.
