Retired military personnel have been staging a sit-in in front of the VAT building in Beirut since the early morning hours of Wednesday, in protest against the economic crisis and the non-payment of end-of-service benefits for new retirees, as well as school and medical aid.
Veterans blocked the entrances to the building amid a security deployment.
They demanded that their rights "should not be dealt with in a discretionary manner," stressing that there will be no roads' cut off.
"The performance of the authority today is unacceptable, so we must continue to demand and raise the voice," they said.
