Aoun Defends Freedom of Speech, Condemns Campaign against al-Rahi
President Michel Aoun called the Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi Tuesday to condemn the political and social media campaign against him, stressing that insults against the patriarchal seat are rejected.
Aoun emphasized during the call that "freedom of opinion and expression is protected under the constitution” and condemned “defamation and abuse.”
“Any other opinion must remain within the political framework, in order to preserve national unity and guarantee general stability in the country," Aoun concluded.
Al-Rahi had deplored on Sunday the ignition of the situation in the border areas from the vicinity of residential villages.
"We also cannot accept that a party take the peace and war decisions outside the decision of the state and the national decision," al-Rahi also said, referring to Hizbullah, which sparked a political and social media uproar against him.

Hahaha it took the sleepy old man three days to react. Jresati and Constantine could no longer ignore the anger and outrage in most Lebanese, the Christian, especially the Maronite, streets at the attacks on Rahi and the FPM's deafening silence. The lunatic onslaught of the Iranian cultists' and their followers on the Patriarch for merely expressing an opinion shared by most Lebanese was way over the top. Most of what Rahi suggested was agreed on by the Lebanese parties including the Iranian Hezb within the Baabda agreement. The Iranian Hezb later backtracked because the agreement was not greenlighted by their Iranian masters.
