Two arrested in Koura town for insulting ISF and Bkirki

W460

Two people have been arrested for preventing members of an Internal Security Forces patrol from removing a construction violation in the Koura town of Kfar Qahel as well as hurling insults against the patrol’s members and Bkirki.

“To preserve the state’s prestige and prevent any transgression against religious authorities and security forces, the (ISF’s) Intelligence Branch arrested Diaa and Mustafa Qaraali in Batroun after they insulted security forces and Bkirki in Kfar Qahel, Koura,” caretaker Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi tweeted.

In a video that went viral on social media, the two men are seen confronting the ISF members, hurling insults at them and Bkirki and threatening to destroy an ISF vehicle. One of them also threatened to seek the intervention of the Hezbollah-linked Resistance Brigades, which eventually denied any link to the incident.

The incident drew condemnations from several parties, including the Maronite League, MP Tony Franjieh of the Marada Movement, MP George Atallah of the Free Patriotic Movement and MP Fadi Karam of the Lebanese Forces.

God bless our Shia resistance aka hezbollah and its derivatives such as the "Ahali" and "the Resistance Brigades" for distancing themselves from acts of violence, incitement, and civil unrest. Our Shia resistance and its derivatives have been a model in transparency and their respect for the law is internationally acknowledged and recognized.

The Zionist enemy and its Gulf backers have failed once more to paint our Shia resistance and its derivatives including the "Ahali" as a rogue terror organization lusting after power and money.

We will not surrender
We will not submit
We will Liberate

Shia Shea Shia !!!

Freedom of speech is a fundamental right in many democratic societies, and is protected by laws such as the First Amendment in the United States. It allows individuals to express their opinions and ideas freely, without fear of censorship or retribution. This is important for the functioning of a healthy democracy, as it allows for the free exchange of ideas and the ability for individuals to hold those in power accountable. Defamation, on the other hand, is the act of making false statements about an individual or group that harms their reputation. We do not know if Diaa and Mustafa Qaraali said the truth or if it was mere free insults. We all know the ISF is corrupt and incompetent, and the least we can say about the Patriarchate, its intiatives and results are extremly unsastifactory.

You slip a 50$ to the ISF patrol and they will legitimate any minor construction violation. Significant violations are dealt with in the minister's office directly as the bribe will become more important to be handled by chicken eaters.
