Jinsiyyati (My Nationality), a group promoting citizenship rights for women, held a sit-in near Baabda Palace Thursday.
The group is protesting a recommendation by a ministerial committee that women continue not to be allowed to pass their citizenship to their family members.
Khaldoun Sharif, an adviser to Prime Minister Najib Mikati, joined the protesters in a show of solidarity, saying Mikati supports their demand.
