The Arab Democratic Party (Arabic: الحزب العربي الديمقراطي, al-Hizb al-'Arabi al-Dimuqrati) is a Lebanese party, based in Jabal Mohsen, Tripoli. Its current leader is Ali Eid. The party was founded by Rifaat al-Assad in the early 70s.[1] The militia of the party, the "Red Knights" (al-Fursan al-Hammur), who were also known as the "Pink Panthers" due to the colour of their uniforms[2], fought different Lebanese factions during the Lebanese Civil War, and was basically a Syrian proxy-militia.[3]

Its followers are mostly Alawites.

In 2005 it was rumoured that Rifaat al-Assad was reviving the Red Knights militia in Tripoli.
