BEIRUT, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- A protest was held on Tuesday in front of the French embassy in Beirut against the visit of a senior French official to Lebanon, the National News Agency reported.
Protesters said they consider the visit of the French official as an intervention in Lebanon's internal affairs.
Christophe Farnaud, head of North Africa and Middle East Department at the French Foreign Ministry, arrived in Lebanon on Tuesday to meet with Lebanese officials and protesters.
Some of the civil society groups have refused the invitations to meet with Farnaud.
Lebanon has been witnessing nationwide demonstrations for 27 consecutive days, which led to the resignation of Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Civil society protesters vowed not to leave the streets before concrete changes are seen in the Lebanese political system.
