Lebanese artists are stars in Lebanon's sit-ins

Lebanon sit-ins, many Lebanese artists did not deviate from other citizens, so they interacted in their own way with the massive sit-ins against the government that the country has been witnessing for days in protest against corruption, poor living conditions, and the deteriorating economy.

Lebanese artists spread throughout the governorates, from Tripoli in the north to Tyre in the south, to the center of the capital, Beirut, participating in the demonstration and carrying the people's demands.
