BEIRUT: Hundreds of protestors marched in Beirut Saturday demanding greater protections for victims of domestic violence.

Activists, civil society groups and media personnel rallied in front of the National Museum at 2 p.m. Saturday, marching towards the Justice Ministry.

Relatives and friends of female victims of domestic abuse carried out posters that featured pictures of the victim, the date of the crime, the man accused and his judicial status.

The demonstration was organized almost two weeks after Sara al-Amin, the latest victim in an ongoing epidemic of violence against women, was shot dead by her husband.
