Protest over arrested Beirut TV journalists

Friends and supporters of two journalists and their driver, who are under arrest in Beirut, have held a protest sit-in outside the justice ministry. They demanded the release of New TV reporter Firas Hatoum, cameraman Abdel-Azim Khayat and driver Mohammed Barbar. The three were arrested 10 days ago following allegations that the journalists entered the apartment of a key prosecution witness in the murder of Lebanon's former prime minister Rafik Hariri. They argue that they had permission to go into the apartment from its owner, and were accompanied by the building's manager and its security guard. (Via Daily Star)
