STORYLINE:
Bank depositors gathered on Tuesday morning in Beirut Downtown to protest against the capital control draft law.
Protesters held flags and chanted slogans against banks and their "unfair restrictions and practices."
Protesters also prevented some deputies from arriving at Parliament for a joint parliamentary session for the Finance and Budget Committee to discuss the bill, which will introduce exceptional and temporary restrictions on bank withdrawals.
The draft law on capital control aims to legalize and standardize banking restrictions put in place at the beginning of the economic crisis in 2019.
