Protesters urging the Lebanese government to resign over a trash crisis said on Monday they were postponing an additional demonstration and were regrouping after violent clashes erupted in Beirut on Sunday night.
The organizers of the "You Stink" campaign said the decision did not mean their protests were over.
It came after two days of protests that were sparked by anger over a trash collection crisis but evolved into an outlet for broader frustrations.
