A clash erupted Wednesday over Hezbollah slogans and party leaders outside the campus of the Lebanese American University (LAU) in Beirut’s Qureitem area, leaving several people wounded.
LAU’s administration clarified in a statement that the clash occurred outside and not inside the university and that all political events are banned at the university’s campuses in Beirut and Jbeil.
“The university urges the various media outlets to seek accuracy in this difficult period that Lebanon is going through, especially as to preserving the reputation of Lebanon’s university institutions and students,” the statement added.
The clash broke out between youth carrying posters of Hezbollah leaders and the residents of another neighborhood.
But the army intervened and arrested several individuals.
