Hammoud Demands Lifting Qanso's Immunity over Suleiman Row
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Acting General Prosecutor Judge Hammoud referred on Friday to the caretaker Justice Minister, Shakib Qortbawi, a request demanding lifting immunity off MP Ali Qanso.
Qanso had accused President Michel Suleiman of high treason in light of the latter's filing of memorandums to the Arab League and United Nations on Syria's violations of Lebanese territory.
On June 21, the president demanded that measure be taken against the Baath Party MP, Qanso, over his statements.
Suleiman had defended his decision to send the memos, saying that his move was constitutional.
The president said that he is only interested in “safeguarding Lebanon and its citizens,” denying accusations that he is defending the Syrian opposition.
Syrian regime troops have carried out attacks on Lebanese border areas, mainly air raids on the northeastern town of Arsal, which has become an escape route for rebels and people running away from the fighting in Syria.

I agree with this move, only on condition that men like Kabbara who are openly denigrating the Lebanese Army and calling for "jihad" against it are also prosecuted.

In principle I agree with the Phoenix's idea of Marshall law, the Lebanese have proven that they are not worthy of democracy.However the_roar,if you want to blame mustakbal for where we have reached, that is your opinion and your allowed to voice it, but don't you think its a bit hypocritical that you don't see the hizb playing a major part in where we reached?We all know of areas in Lebanon which are off limits for the army which are in control of the hizb.so if Marshall is applied, will those areas also fall under this protocol?

irus_da_virus, well, it seems to me Hizbullah would deny it -- at first.
When the Army shows that it can wholly and firmly impose itself and the rule of law it is intended to enforce, then HA will openly welcome the Army's intervention in any of its areas. You simply can't adopt a bona fide approach to these kinds of things.

Agreed in concept but the cleanup eventually will need to occur across the board.
