"هيومن رايتس ووتش" تدعو للتحقيق بـ"الإعتداء" على عمال أجانب والجيش يرفض "التطاول" عليه

FT: go to hell you racist illiterate scumbag. stick to tayar.org where you belong.

you lost in koura, and will lose next year.

We are a long ways from being a truly civilized country and people.
Another step back for us.
One step forward, thirty steps back.

I live in a foreign (African country) and being a guest here, the local norm is that if any foreigner breaks any law he/she is treated harshly. Much more severely than they would punish a local for the same crime. And you get told in your face. "you are a foreigner, you are white, if you don't like it go back to your own country". Yet if someone ANYWHERE in the world DARES to blurt out the word "aswad" bit2oum el 2yemeh 3alei. I would like to think that at least bi baladi 72ou2 emi, marti, ekhti etc be respected by foreigners. And if they dont like it... yerja3o 3a baladon. I wanna see what your reaction; all of u, FT/mowaten/phoenix..etc if this happened to one of your own. And YES i do think someone is looking for free publicity for his NY based Org. He was also on MTV yesterday blabering.

worthless army just good for bullying.
why are we paying them salaries if they do not want to defend our borders? just there to bully????

Probable scenario: some short skirted daughter got whistled by some workers. She gets upset calls her father. The father, a papaz calls his friend a capitain in the army. The friend gets his crew and gives his orders. The crew is more than happy to beat up some syrian, especially that they are weak and unarmed.- easy target.
Two years ago the army found 2 gays in action in a building under construction in ashrafieh, they dragged the guys to the middle of sassine square and beat the hell out of them.- easy target.
I am against disciplining the army for the murder of the weapons and alchool carrying cheikh under duress. But I am for disciplining them to attack UNARMED people. They should arrest them and give them to judiciary authorities. Army cannot be judge, jury and executor.

The army justification is not sufficient. While we all support the army and eager for the day it confront the real thugs and bullies, and become the only armed force in the country and truly defend our borders and protect us from the Basij; abuses of human and civil rights of foreign workers is unacceptable. If individual workers committed punishable acts, they should be identified and punished. However, collective brutal punishment by security forces is what takes place in brutal regimes not Lebanon. Civility requires protecting the civil and human rights of all, especially foreign residents.

Good job by the army ,those migrant workers must first respect the law and respect our sisters when they are walking the streets ,why should our women feel like a peace of meat everytime they walk passed a constrution site,for you human rights lovers leave the army alone..

Any NGO in Lebanon is automatically a Corrupt For Profit Organization. Shameful but true.

HRW, what a joke, this American organization with a highly suspect agenda and flawed methodology should dedicate itself to the rights of native (Indian) Americans, Mexicans in the US, Poles in Europe and the crimes of successive US administrations in Vietnam, Cuba, various Latin American countries, Grenada, Panama and of course Afghanistan and Iraq? Do the US drone strikes not constitute human rights violations when they kill innocent women and children? And when was their last report on Israel? Check their website. Last I heard they were beating up on Hamas. I'm no friend of Hamas but aren't they the ones besieged by the Israelis?
