Marking Lebanon’s 78th independence anniversary, the Civil Parade activities set out on Monday evening from Karantina area towards Beirut port under the slogan, "People, Army, Judiciary", with the heavy participation of Civil Society groups and October 17 revolutionaries.

Rows of participants extended to Dora area, while the sides of the road witnessed crowds of citizens who came to attend the parade.

Participants raised banners calling for "achieving real independence, fighting corruption and theft of public money, reaching the civil state, and holding those responsible for the August 4 explosion accountable."

Professionals from various fields and sectors took part in the activities, alongside a number of artists and intellectual and social figures, as they all raised Lebanese flags and army banners.
