(Zaman Al Wasl)- The Lebanese Internal Security has arrested Syrian activist Fawaz al-Marsoumi in the northern city of Tripoli, local news site said Saturday.
No further details were revealed about the arrest of al-Marsoumi who fled his hometown in eastern Deir Ezzor province to Lebanon at the early days of Syrian revolution.
Lebanese politicians routinely blame the country's economic and other woes on Syrian refugees and the government has ratcheted up the pressure to send them back.
The Mediterranean country of around 4.5 million people says it hosts some 1.5 million Syrians, of which nearly a million are UN-registered refugees.
