Balanced News: Lebanese activists protested Sunday at a beach in the coastal city of Sidon after a woman said she was harassed there over her allegedly indecent bathing suit. Defying a municipality ban on their demonstration, dozens of protesters, mostly women, gathered briefly in the Sunni Muslim-majority conservative city. The protesters denounced the conservative intervention of last week's incident, in which a group of religious Muslims reportedly assailed a bather and her husband at the public beach.
