Qabalan: Al-Rahi Must Tackle Lassa Case, I Will Confront Any Conspiracy against it
The Vice President of the Higher Islamic Shiite Council Abdul Amir Qabalan stated on Friday that facts and documents prove that the land in and around the town of Lassa belongs to its residents.
He demanded during Friday Muslim prayers that no one get involved in the matter and that all the residents be treated fairly.
“I will confront any conspiracy against the town,” he stressed.
“We don’t want anyone’s land to be seized and we won’t allow any Lassa resident’s property to be seized,” Qabalan declared.
In addition, he said that Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi should handle this case.
“We don’t want to create a problem with any one. We have enough problems with Israel to contend with,” he continued.
Last week, Lassa residents prevented a Maronite League delegation from conducting a survey of land belonging to the Patriarchate in Jounieh.
An MTV crew was also prevented from filming in the area.
A meeting at Bkirki this week demanded that this issue remain restricted to legal circles.
