Kataeb Lawmaker Nadim Gemayel commented on the incident that occurred yesterday in Mar Mikhael.

"It is unacceptable and condemned. If there is any violation of public norms or public safety, it is solely up to the security forces to take the necessary measures and prevent any group from assuming the role of a morality police," Gemayel wrote on "X" platform, formerly known as Twitter.

"Our society must remain free and respect individual freedoms."
