Interior Minister Ahmad Al-Hajjar on Friday called for the dissolution of the “Lebanese Association for Arts – Risalat” and the revocation of its official license following the group’s unauthorized illumination of Beirut’s Rawshe Rock landmark.
According to the ministry, the association breached Beirut Governor’s circular, dated September 24, 2025, and failed to comply with its internal regulations and the obligations it accepted when applying for official recognition. It also accused the group of violating laws governing public property, including using it for unauthorized purposes and engaging in activities deemed contrary to public order, without prior permission.
The ministry’s request has been placed on the agenda of the upcoming government session scheduled for Monday at the presidential palace in Baabda.
The act, which involved projecting images of Hezbollah’s slain leaders onto the landmark, occurred despite a ban issued by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. Days before the ceremony organized by Hezbollah to commemorate its late leader Hassan Nasrallah, Salam issued a circular emphasizing the strict enforcement of laws governing the use of public land, maritime areas, heritage sites, tourist attractions, and buildings of significant national symbolism. The move also defied a ban by the Beirut governor, who had only authorized a rally on the Corniche.
