BEIRUT: President Michel Sleiman called Monday on Hezbollah and the Iranian embassy to assist in the investigation into the death of an anti-Hezbollah protester who was killed this weekend, according to a statement from Sleiman’s office.
Hashem Salman, 28, was shot and killed at a rally outside the Iranian embassy Sunday while protesting Hezbollah’s involvement in the Syrian conflict.

A small group of protesters were attacked by Hezbollah supporters with sticks and guns when they arrived to the embassy.

“Sleiman stressed the need for citizens and parties in the area, particularly Hezbollah and the Iranian embassy, to assist the competent agencies in their mission to uncover the details and circumstances [surrounding the crime],” the statement said.
