Protests in Lebanon turned violent for a second night with dozens injured after Lebanese security forces used batons and tear gas to forcefully break up demonstrations. Lebanon has been swept by a wave of mostly peaceful protests aimed at the country’s elite that prompted Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri to resign on Oct. 29, pushing the country deeper into economic crisis. Riots broke out in Beirut’s Hamra area, with bank facades smashed and stones pelted at security forces who fired back with tear gas. The unrest continued today when anti-government protesters hurled stones and fireworks at security forces outside a Beirut police station where some demonstrators were being detained from the night before. Police dispersed the protests with batons and tear gas. The Lebanese Red Cross said that 45 people had been injured, 35 of whom had been transferred to hospitals for treatment.
