If I were the Lebanese authorities, I'd let them go. 49 foreigners less on Lebanese soil.

why they arrest them? i thought we wanted to get rid of them as we cannot handle their numbers! plus where are the holding cells to keep placing all these people? i thought there was a shortage of prison space
