The family of Syrian dissident Shebli al-Aisamy denied on Wednesday allegations of his death.
It said in a statement: “We have confirmed reports that he was seen about a month ago in al-Mazzeh in Damascus.”
It revealed that a high-ranking dissident Syrian general had seen al-Aisamy in Damascus in March.
The Lebanese Institute for Democracy and Human Rights announced the death of al-Aisamy, MTV had reported on Wednesday.
It said that he was killed 12 days after he was kidnapped in Lebanon in May 2011.
The family said that it has contacted the head of the institute, Nabil al-Halabi, in order to clarify the matter.
Al-Aisamy, 86, is a co-founder of Syria's ruling Baath party who became a dissident and went into exile in 1966 over political differences with President Hafez Assad.
However, he has not been reportedly involved in politics since 1992.
Al-Aisamy was last seen in May 2011 in the Lebanese eastern region of Aley.
The daughter of the Syrian figure, Raja Sharafeddine, family members, friends and several politicians had continuously demanded information about the condition of al-Aisamy.

The Criminal Syrian Regime is responsible for any political crime and assassination everytime it happend. We have multiple evidence for their involvement in every political crime in Lebanon specifically,
This evil regime has to go down being the only way for Lebanon to settle, and for them to stop manipulating other parties in Lebanon, we had enough of them interfering in our internal affairs....

We'll soon find out - by the Syrian Ministry of Truth - that Al-Aisamy had committed suicide by three bullets to the head, like another "unwanted personage" of the Regime a few years back...

The key-handing ceremony was held at the Grand Serail Wednesday shortly after an official announcement said Kenaan has been transferred from his Lebanon post to head Syria's Political Security Department, one of the four major pillars of President Bashar Assad's regime.
The ceremony was held at the Grand Serail an hour before Prime Minister Hariri jetted out for official visits to Malaysia and Japan. Beirut Mayor Abdul Monem Arisse did the key presentation.
President Lahoud earlier conferred on Kenaan the Cedar medal of the Commodore Order at a ceremony held in the Baabda palace. Kenaan also made farewell calls on Defense Minister Khalil Hrawi, army commander Gen. Michel Suleiman and Lebanese army intelligence chief Brig. Gen. Raymond Azar. - 12/10/2002

I have been warning about this for a while now, and some of you were not accepting the idea that israel is going to wipe hizbushaitan out to further isolate iran, while the syrian regime is on the way down.
whether you want to believe it or not, it is happening.
how is hizbushaitan responding:
- fayez karam release ....
- assassination attempts ....
come on, enough is enough.
