Lebanese abroad resistance

The Lebanese around the world are leading peaceful demonstrations supporting the peaceful revolution in Lebanese to implement the UN Security Council Resolutions 520 and 1559 that call for Syrian pullout of Lebanon. The major activities for the Pro-Free-Lebanon movements take place in the United States, Canada and Europe. However, the demonstrations escalated recently to reach cities in the Arab world – cities that have never seen such democratic moves.
