Social media platforms circulated a video showing a confrontation and altercation between Lebanese actor Wissam Faris and a security official at the Vehicle Registration Authority (known as "the Nafa") north of Beirut last Wednesday. Following the incident, actor Faris was detained, prompting several artists to gather in front of the Dekwaneh police station to demand his release after rumors emerged that he would remain in custody until next Tuesday pending the prosecutor's directive.
