Lebanon Students Protest Syrian Grip
(CNN) - Lebanese students taped their mouths shut and raised banners calling for an end to Syria's grip on Lebanon Thursday at the French Cultural Centre in Beirut, appealing to delegates arriving for a summit of Francophone nations to help end Syrian political and military domination. Syria holds political sway in Lebanon, where it keeps at least 20,000 troops and maintains a strong influence in the military, judiciary, and security forces.
