Protestors have already gathered in downtown #Beirut to prevent MPs from arriving to parliament from all sides. Some shoving b/w them & riot police near the Annahar building.
There is unsurprisingly heavy security presence. Some videotaping protestors w/large cameras

An MP's convoy of 3 cars tries to drive past protestors blocking the road, who then try to stop the car & throw bottles and other small objects
One bodyguard opens the window & shoots warning shots into the air -- then appears to detour.

Protestors near Riad Solh Square have piled objects together and set them on fire, as their standoff with riot police intensifies.

Several protestors are wounded so far, some from riot police hitting them with batons/night sticks, and others saying MP's convoys forcefully driving through hit them (running over their feet, hitting their legs...etc).
Numbers not confirmed so far.
