Lebanon: Riot Police Remove Protesters Occupying Ministry Building 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Lebanon, riot police have forcibly removed more than two dozen
protesters from the Environment Ministry building in the capital Beirut,
after the demonstrators occupied the building Tuesday to demand the
minister's resignation over the heaps of trash piling up in the streets.
The occupation was part of the growing "You Stink!" campaign protesting
government ineptitude.
