2 Held for Taking Pictures near Rifi's Tripoli Residence

W460

Two people were arrested Thursday for using cameras near the residence of Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi in the northern city of Tripoli.

“Two people raised suspicions as they were taking pictures of the surroundings of Rifi's residence in Tripoli,” state-run National News Agency reported.

“One of them is Lebanese and the other is Sri Lankan,” NNA said.

The guards of the apartment immediately arrested them and handed them over to the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Branch for further interrogation, the agency added.

Rifi is a former chief of the ISF and an outspoken member of al-Mustaqbal movement.

Aiwa, Lebanese "Justice" system. Capture a random Sri Lankan and his Lebanese guide whilst they are probaly taking pictures of themselves and using Rifis palace as a background.

People wonder why the Resistance doesn't answer to Rifis laws. Look what justice he is giving to bystanders outside his home.

Mystic is a typical paid but lousy propagandist. First off, Rifi lives in a modest apartment in a modest apartment building in Tripoli and not in a Palace. Second, How and where did you decide the two were Sri Lankans or are you trying to be cute?

Yes this is a funny event. Rifi the Justice Minister of Lebanon that sends Pedestrians to interrogation, because they take photos together.

liberty, did you visit Rifi? Now that is even more amusing. What does our Justice Minister do in his spare time? Other than funding ISIS and Nusra under the table and convincing the Lebanese people that those groupings do not exist within our borders.
Better yet, he owns his own special militia inside Lebanon called the ISF, whom smuggles takfiris over the borders free of charge.
