Protestors, Depositors Besiege Sfeir in Bank of Beirut
The Association of Banks and the Bank of Beirut in central Beirut closed their doors Wednesday to protect their Chairman Salim Sfeir as depositors arrived at the place in a protest, the Mottahidoun protest movement group said.
One of the depositors tried to go into the bank to claim access to her deposits and was prevented from entering the bank, the Mouttahidoun added.
Riot police were meanwhile called in to protect the building.
