Bassil Calls for 'State of Justice and Accountability'

W460

Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil on Tuesday called for “a state of right, justice and accountability in Lebanon,” in a tweet marking 21 years since Israel’s military withdrawal from Lebanon.

“The liberation of the year 2000 ended the myth of the occupation and the 2006 victory put an end to the era of the impunity of Israeli aggression,” Bassil said.

“The deterrence equation boosted Lebanon’s strength in protecting its border and rights and abolished the ‘Lebanon’s strength lies in its weakness’ idea,” he added.

“But victories are threatened to be lost and corruption might eradicate every resilience capacity unless victories are immunized by the (rise of the) state of right, justice and accountability,” Bassil went on to say.

As long as he and his father-in-law are alive Lebanon will not see a state of right, justice, and accountability.

"State of Justice and Accountability"
In any other country this would mean simply allowing the PM-designate to form a government that he wants.
Guess this doesn't apply to Lebanon.

Maybe he should explain why he is a defendant in a lawsuit (or even bring it up) where he is accused of kidnapping, torture, and extortion. I for one, would love to hear his side on that and please pass the popcorn.

@Ron

What’s terroristic about @Warrior’s comment ? He merely stated facts and after verification, they’re all true.

A person who is sanctioned for corruption should not be talking about accountability.
