Líbano - Strike of Syrian refugee workers forbidden in Deir Al-Ahmar

The mayor of the Lebanese village of Deir Al-Ahmar prohibited a strike called by Syrian displaced workers and threatened to repatriate those workers who were planning to participate in it. The collective action was organised to denounce the inhumane, degrading and discriminatory conditions applied to Syrian workers together with discriminatory treatment perpetrated against them by the municipality itself, the security forces and some of the town residents.
