Lebanese lawyers Khalil Qabbani, Rami Itani, Mohammad Doughan and Sana al-Rifai have taken legal action against British magazine 'The Economist' for damaging Lebanon's reputation in an article that tackles "Lebanon's dreadful economic conditions and a potential collapse."

The article also featured a photograph of the Lebanese flag disintegrating and the cedar falling off of it.
