MEPI and US Tech Support for Arab Spring Activists
The Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) are identified as vehicles for providing tech support to foreign activists. This support includes seminars in Beirut on circumventing government internet blocking, which the hosts characterize as a form of covert operation or act of war.
