Al-Burayfaj Building Demolished

The article published the history and significance of the Bourej Faj Hotel building in Ain al-Mreisseh, Beirut, from its founding in the 1950s as a symbol of the city's tourist prosperity, to its intertwining with Lebanon's political and security phases. The building was transformed, after its closure in the mid-1980s, into the headquarters of Syrian intelligence during the occupation period, becoming associated with events of arrests, torture, and the disappearance of individuals—making it a witness to a part of Lebanon's history of violence and division. Today’s decision to demolish the building symbolizes the eradication of one of its symbols, but its memory and the questions of justice remain present, as the memories and historical truths connected to its site cannot be erased by demolition.
