The atrocious story of the abuse and death of Nepalese national Lila Aacharya in Lebanon caused a major uproar among Lebanon's human rights activists, and served to highlight yet again the failure of Lebanese authorities to address the problem.
It is a rarity in Lebanon for individuals to come together and announce a new political group with an articulate political platform. In a country where political mantles have been passed down over generations, the political leaders of today are often the grandsons of feudal lords and other Lebanese notables.
