ISF Dismisses Reported Gang-Rape of Woman as 'False Rumor'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Internal Security Forces on Tuesday described a media report claiming that a woman was gang-raped in Akkar as a “false rumor.”

“A rumor has been circulated about a gang-rape of a woman in the Bekaa. After a forensic doctor examined her, it turned out that it was just a false rumor,” the ISF announced on its Twitter page.

Earlier, media reports said a 33-year-old woman identified as H. A. was allegedly raped by a group of Syrian nationals and left on the side of the road in north Bekaa.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said the woman who hails from the village of Sheikh Taba in Akkar was found on the side of the road bleeding.

She was rushed to al-Assi Hospital in Hermel and an investigation was launched into the incident, the radio station added.

exactly why give her full name ?

The ISF communique probably mentioned her name and Naharney just reported it. The damage is already done, but I agree, Naharnet should remove the name or at least mention just the initials.

To be fair though, mentioning names is common in Western media, no matter how diabolical an act.

This is irresponsible and unethical journalism.
Poor woman, may her attackers get their deserved punishment soon.

Why not? SHE has nothing to be ashamed about-- the alleged rapist(s) does. And if she is not telling the truth (which I believe she is) why not say her name. Either way----- the shame is not on her!

The poor lady's name was given, but now we want to know the names of those SOB's. They must be caught, tried and hanged, period. It is time to start sending back these Syrians back to their country, we cannot shoulder them anymore, they've taken our jobs, they're everywhere, no one feels safe anymore with so many of them around our country, moving freely as they want, and now they're gang raping our girls?!!! If the criminals are not found within the next 24 hours, then who among us can trust our security anymore? maybe it will be a good thing if we Lebanese start catching Syrians and detain them at our will, then maybe our filthy authorities will wake up, together with these dirty so called refugees. I am infuriated.

I now believe that the time has come for vigilante groups to start forming and patrol their neighborhoods. Vigilante groups need not be violent, of course not, they can get professional training and formation and volunteers can give from their time in rotation to protect their people during dark hours. In fact as we speak, some areas have started doing this since around November, some areas even go as far as encouraging their people to beat up Syrians whenever they see them roaming at night. I honestly care damn less what people may think, my RED line is when our girls, women and children are threatened by these SOBs. First they complained that in Lebanon they are not receiving enough aid, not they've started gang raping?!! Find these SOBs, castrate them and hang them. Since we don't seem to have a state anymore, with Hezbollah too busy fighting in Syria, together with its Lebanese opponents, the time has come for either Vigilante or Militias to protect their people. NOW!!
