Tripoli Mob Tortures Man 'Suspected of Being Syrian Agent'
A group of young men on Monday captured a man they suspected to be a Syrian intelligence agent in Tripoli and handed him over to Lebanese army intelligence, as reports said he was “tortured.”
A mob “beat up and tormented a Syrian man after they suspected that he belongs to the Syrian intelligence,” al-Jadeed television reported.
"A man indentified as Y. Y. was captured at al-Nahhasin market while he was using his cellphone at the hands of young men from the area, who forced him to show them his ID,” al-Jadeed said.
“When they found a Syrian intelligence ID in his possession, they stripped him off his clothes, beat him up, put a rope around his neck and dragged him in the street after they wrote slogans on his body,” the TV network added.
The mob then handed him over to Lebanese army intelligence agents, it said.
Meanwhile, state-run National News Agency said a group of young men captured a “security suspect” at the traffic light on Azmi Street and handed him over to army intelligence.
