Date: Monday, 11 Sep 2006
The Guardian reported:
Blair's press conference with Fouad Siniora, the Lebanese prime minister, was interrupted by a protester despite high security. ... The half-hour press conference in Beirut was interrupted half way through by a female protester [Caoimhe Butterly] shouting "Shame on you!" and holding a banner in front of the two men stating "Boycott Israeli apartheid". ... She was escorted away, with the Lebanese PM commenting: "This is a democracy which respects all sorts of expression."
