Lebanon

Mashreq · Levant

Tracking the protection of refugee populations, freedom of assembly, and accountability for the Beirut blast and economic-collapse-driven rights violations.

Our position on Lebanon
We call for truth and accountability for the Beirut port explosion, an end to the forced deportation of Syrian refugees, the implementation of Lebanon’s anti-torture law, and the protection of freedom of assembly and independent media.
