BEIRUT (IRIN) - Loud screams break the quiet of a Beirut neighborhood in the early hours of Sunday 15 June: It's Angelique, a 26-year-old domestic worker from Congo, crying for the police as she runs to the balcony. From inside the apartment, a man's voice yells her name, swearing in Arabic and French. There are the sounds of fists and slaps and more screams, before all falls silent.
