BEIRUT: The Union Coordination Committee called Wednesday for its members to join a demonstration in solidarity with the Justice Palace office worker who was attacked Monday by MP Nicolas Fattoush.
The protest, organized by the League of Public Administration Employees, will take place at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, at the gate of Beirut’s Justice Palace.
The UCC denounces such attacks as “unprecedented insults towards public sector workers, be it a direct personal attack or an attack on their collective rights.”
Mainly led by teacher unionists, the powerful committee has become famous in Lebanon for its more than three years of large street demonstrations calling for wage hikes.
The Civil Movement for Accountability, a group of NGOs and activists who oppose the extension of the Parliament’s term, also called on its supporters to join the protest.
Manal Daou, an officer who processes legal compaints at the Justice Palace of Baabda, was attacked Monday by Fattoush, a lawmaker from Zahle and former minister who grew furious after Daou asked him to wait for a few minutes so she could finish working on her files.
