Lebanese Activists Protest against Mubarak, Egypt's Steel Barrier

Activists from Lebanon's Popular Democratic Party protested yesterday (January 17, 2010) in front of the Egyptian embassy in Beirut against the steel barrier being constructed by Egypt on its border with Gaza. The demonstrators cried slogans against the Egyptian president and held up placards and banners presenting him as an agent of the U.S. and Israel. They also burned American and Israeli flags, called to step up the resistance against these countries, and urged the Arab peoples to topple "treasonous" leaders (meaning Mubarak).
