The Dignity Movement (Arabic: تيار الكرامة‎, Tayyār al-Karāma), formerly known as the Arab Liberation Party, is a Lebanese political party with considerable support in the city of Tripoli (Trablos), North Lebanon.[1] Its membership is mainly Sunni Muslim.[citation needed]

Once led by former Prime minister Omar Karami, the party is part of the March 8 Alliance, and is allied to Amal Movement. The current head of the party is Faisal Karami, son of Omar Karami.[2]

In the 2018 Lebanese general election, Faisal Karami and Jihad Al-Samad were elected as a members of parliament for Tripoli on the "National Dignity" list. Another candidate from the list, Taha Naji, was narrowly defeated by Dima Jamali of the Future Movement, a result that was invalidated by the Constitutional Council. Jamali regained the seat in a by-election in May 2019. [3]
