Protesters remained defiant Monday after supporters of main Shiite groups Hezbollah and Amal attacked demonstrators overnight, sparking a UN call to keep
protests peaceful.
Demonstrators demanding a complete government overhaul have stayed mobilised since protests began on October 17, but a bitterly divided political class has yet to find a way forward.
Frustrated by the stalemate,
protesters had called for roadblocks and a general strike on Monday, but an attack by supporters of allied parties Hezbollah and Amal on Sunday night weakened the turnout.
