إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syrian actor Duraid Lahham visited Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi on Sunday, a day after he was forced out of a town in northern Lebanon over his support for the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad.

A statement carried by the National News Agency said Lahham visited Rifi to announce his “support and appreciation” for ISF's “constructive” role.

Lahham “lauded the efforts exerted by security personnel to preserve order, impose security, and protect people and private and public properties,” it said.

NNA said Saturday that Lahham was shooting a movie scene at a villa in the area of Qalamoun when several men chanting anti-Assad slogans asked the actor to leave the town.

ISF immediately interfered and Lahham left, it added, without giving further details.

Lahham, a comedian and a director, is well known for his acts under the nickname Ghawar al-Toushe.

According to the info I have: it was a small demo started with some people from Tripoli. The leader of the demo is not from Kalamoun but he is the son in law of the leader of an old islamist group in Kalamoun. There is no info that any kalamounis joined the demo at this point and will try and get further info. Nonetheless, the demo to my knowledge was peacefull.

Josh - I doubt if you have any Sunni friends. Wahhabi is a name referred to people who are salafis. Most are peacefull minding their own business like everyone else. What Jesus said is correct and from your writings, you are a bigotted hatefull man.

I am deeply sorry that this great actor became a small man. Thanks God there are Syrian actors who were not affraid to stand behind people. Among them - women. It is seems they are more honorable than one man. :) Laham will stay in Syrian history, but together with hist taint. You know, the support of famous Syrians was very important in the beginig of the revolution. Now, thanks God, we don`t need publicity any more. And people like Laham with their miserable position. The worst thing thah could happened to him is to loose the respect of the people and as a result, his work in Syria in future.
