W460

State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Fadi Akiki has charged 68 people, including 18 detainees, with murder, attempted murder and the stirring of sectarian strife in connection with the deadly Tayyouneh incidents, state-run National News Agency said on Monday.

Among those charged in absentia were the Lebanese Forces official in charge of Maarab security, Simon Musallem, two Amal Movement members, two Syrians and a Lebanese Army soldier, media reports said.

The rest are residents of Ain al-Remmaneh and LF members and supporters, the reports added.

The suspects have also been charged with “incitement, possession of unlicensed firearms and sabotage of public and private properties,” NNA said.

“The detainees and the file have been referred to acting First Military Examining Magistrate Fadi Sawwan," the agency added.

Later in the day, the army said its Intelligence Directorate has completed the investigations into the incidents, referring the file and the detainees to the military prosecution.

They came to their homes and in their defense ended up arrested? Banana’s republic Court. What a shame. What about the soldier? Why is he charged? Because he is doing his duty? Freaking shame shame shame!!!! I didn't read anything about any Hizub’s men arrested.

To have hezbollah bullying us is one thing.
To have our lebanese institutions supporting this bullying drives me crazy.

Lebanese Army Soldier who was doing his job defending himself, other soldiers, and the residents of Ain al-Remmaneh?!!!!

In any other country, a soldier/policeman can shoot you if you disobey his orders to stop!

possession of unlicensed firearms?! I guess Hezbollah's weapons that we saw on trucks are licensed.

Alas!

Judge Fadi Akiki should have recused himself from this case for conflict of interest, he's married to the niece of Nabih Berri. Any honest ethical judge would have disqualified himself. But if he did this, the Shiite duo wouldn't be able to manipulate the Tayyouneh incidents case to their advantage, Akiki is their eyes, ears and blunt object, he will do what they tell him to do.

They needed to show a semblance of fairness especially with Judge Fadi Akiki's family relation to Nabih Berri.

Gubran Bassil is laughing all the way. His foes are Berri and Geagea!

Former minister Fahmi once declared that at least 95% of all magistrates are corrupt. Fadi Akiki is corrupt! Hang Him now!

Any reason Akiki failed to summon Hezbollah members, other than the fact that they are saints?
