ابراهيم: أخذت على عاتقي إعادة فتح ملف المعتقلين والمفقودين اللبنانيين في السجون السورية

he seems like a top man, rational of kinds. If he was able to negotiate with syrian authorities regarding the previous success for the nation, he can do this too. I share your opinion as well, our men in syrian prison of very low standards need to come back home, and if he thinks he can do the job, even if it covers hundreds(as opposed to possibly thousands), i and the country will be grateful regardless. Here's hoping it will materialize.

Aoun is probably right about that one. I didnt read that Maj.Gen Abbas Ibrahim said anything about people being in jail, did you? He said that he would find a closure to their fate in Syria. The missing persons most likely were killed and buried in Syria.

By him giving up on the issue he left it at that. So cut your own stupidity by coming up with excuses for him. He is a politician (supposedly) he does not give up on a cause (haha kind of an irony for Aoun) just because Assad said so. And he has said on MANY occasions after repeating what Assad said that there are no more political prisoners in Syria. Now go shine his boots.

"In a recent TV interview, Aoun has publicly denied the presence of any of his followers and party members in the Syrian jails." oct 2006 http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=1965

"In an interview with As-Sharq al-Awsat on Saturday, Aoun said that some of the missing persons had died in prison while others died in Lebanon and were not taken to Syria." nov 2008

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

so you are trying to tell me that of the thousands of 20-30 year olds that were taken prisoner in 1991 and earlier, that NONE are still alive? are you serious??
but I digress, let us assume that ALL of them are dead.. what closure is he going to give to their families? oh X was executed..so was Y.. and Z.. and AFY was as well? now excuse us while we go and call the Syrian govt a brotherly govt... that's closure right there..

Held can represent current holding. As in being held captive now.

Cheers phoenix, your reaction shows (once again) that you're for real.

granted, a promise is a promise, not worth much until it is achieved. but those who really are in good faith and truly hope for an improvement in that case will welcome a promise to work on it.

those who criticize it are just hypocrites who dont care about the missing people. for them it's just a pretext like another to justify their hate and daily cursings. if ibrahim achieves any result they will have less stones to throw and will be frustrated.
