If I recall correctly, Ahmad Fatfat is interior minister in Lebanon, loyal member of March 14. It seems more likely that the government simply does not wish to have more civil unrest on its hands. If they allow it, March 8 will use it as an attack on shiism supported by March 14. It is sad that something so insignificant can be seen as risky in Lebanon.
