Beirut, Mar 8 (UNI) Protesters in Lebanon used burning tyres to block roads in various parts of the country for the seventh consecutive day, demanding that the government end to the economic and political crisis that have been going on for more than a year and has plagued the country.
Three main roads leading south into the capital Beirut from Zouk, Jal al-Dib and al-Dawra were blocked on Monday while, in Beirut itself, protesters briefly blocked the road in front of the central bank, Al Jazeera reported.
In Tyre, a man tried to self immolate by pouring petrol on his body but was stopped by the civil defence in time.
