Protestors throw rocks at Prime Minister Saad Hariri's convoy

Videos posted online show protestors throwing rocks and attacking the convoy of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri in downtown Beirut.

Local security forces could be seen violently holding back protestors as they voice their anger and frustration at the country's dire situation.

This is how security forces attacked volunteers who objected to Hariri's theatrics in downtown Beirut a little earlier.

This is not a day for national unity with a murderous ruling class.
