Controversy around the Lycée Abdel Kader high school.
editIn November 2018, Hind Hariri was reported to be behind the controversial decision to relocate the historic Lycée Abdel Kader School.[2] Hind Hariri allegedly put on sale the high school with the goal to construct a mall in its location. L'Orient Le Jour, a Lebanese Francophone newspaper, reported[2] that students, their parents and professors rejected the move in a protest in front of the school's main entrance.
