Lebanese protesters broke into the Environment Ministry in downtown Beirut Tuesday, demanding the resignation of the minister over the country's snowballing trash crisis.
The group from the movement known as "You Stink" posted a video of about 30 demonstrators sitting cross-legged on the floor, clapping and shouting slogans against the minister, Mohammed Machnouk. "Out, out, out!" they shouted.
It was not immediately clear whether the minister was inside the building.
Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Environment Ministry later to support their colleagues holed up inside.
