Lebanon protest: Expats return for Independence Day demonstration - BBC News
Protestors against corruption and the ruling elite were joined by Lebanese from around the world.
Protests in Lebanon continue against corruption, the political class and the state of their country.

In a TV interview Lebanese President Michel Aoun told demonstrators that "if they see no honest people in this state, let them emigrate", angering not only the protesters who have taken to the streets for more than a month, but also expats.

A number of Lebanese people living abroad organised a symbolic return to take part in Independence Day demonstrations.

The returning diaspora members gathered at Beirut airport and travelled in a convoy to Martyrs' Square.
