In Pictures: Hezbollah Stages Peaceful Video Protest

  

Hezbollah leader Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah's rare public appearance in Lebanon drew hundreds of thousands of supporters this week, many of them women and children. Preethi Nallu captures images of the crowds, who gathered to peacefully protest an anti-Islam video that has sent shockwaves through the Muslim world.

Burqa-clad female supporters wore the symbolic yellow bandana and held hands while guiding young schoolgirls walking in formation. The 100,000-strong protest in Beirut was followed by a second wave in the southern city of Tyre on Tuesday.
