Speaking to Global Voices, Khaled Merheb, Proud Lebanon's lawyer, said that the government was asked by Proud Lebanon why it did not offer protection against these threats given that the group has been legally registered since 2014 (and should thus protect NGOs facing threats), but the government offered no explanation. They said nothing about Beirut Pride in general but said that any event needs a prior permit from the general security and that the NGO should be registered with the Ministry of Interior.
Они ничего не сказали о Beirut Pride в целом, но заявили, что любое мероприятие должно получить разрешение от службы безопасности и что НПО должны быть зарегистрированы министерством внутренних дел.
