Syrians in Lebanon rallied Sunday to voice opposition to the Arab League's recent decision to suspend their country’s membership at the organization.

The demonstration was also in support of unity and stability in the country as well as the reforms proposed by Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The Arab League announced Saturday it would suspend Syria’s membership and impose economic sanctions.

Lebanon, Yemen and Syria opposed the decision to suspend Syria’s membership but the proposal passed with 18 member states voting in favor. Iraq was the only country to abstain.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati had stressed the need for Lebanon to remain neutral on the crisis in its neighbor.
