Syria-Appointed Lebanese Attorney Files Lawsuit Against Saqr
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese lawyer Rashad Salameh filed on Tuesday a lawsuit against al-Mustaqbal movement lawmaker Oqab Saqr for allegedly sending arms to Syrian rebels.
The lawyer agreed last week to file the lawsuit at the behest of Syrian authorities against several people allegedly involved in arming the Syrian opposition.
The move came after Damascus issued arrest warrants against former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Saqr and Free Syrian Army member Louay al-Meqdad on charges of “arming and financing terrorist groups in Syria.”
But Salameh said that he will confine the lawsuit to Saqr, if there was enough evidence to prove that he is guilty in the case which became public after recordings were aired by OTV and details published in al-Akhbar daily implicating the MP in arming the rebels at the behest of Hariri.
Saqr denied the accusations, saying he was negotiating the release of Lebanese pilgrims held in Syria and aired during a conference what he said were the original audiotapes to prove his claims.
Media reports said that the Interpol has vowed not to implement the warrants in line with its constitution and rules.
Saqr described the Interpol's announcement as a “heavy blow” to Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime.
Salameh said in remarks published Tuesday that he isn't affiliated with any political party and has no personal stance from Saqr.
“I have my own political views but am not affiliated with any party, neither the March 14 opposition nor the March 8 alliance,” Salameh told An Nahar newspaper.

funny how m8 are gloating at merely a filed lawsuit by the Syrian regime against a Lebanese MP. what a bunch of traitors!
what more proof is there to show us your true face m8 guys?
anyway, oqab is safe and there is no one in this government that will dare lift his immunity, and if they do, they are risking a deadly civil war.
supporting the enemy against your own is not acceptable....

there is a major difference between noticing what Israel is saying and analyzing it, and wishing that things happen.
I have always called for hizbushaitan to surrender their weapons to the state so they avoid us and Lebanon a new war.
but then again you do not seem to know how to read.

totally wrong:
the Syrian regime has lost all legitimacy already ")
as for your nasrallah traitor he is acting against the cabinet decision by sending men to fight with an enemy of Lebanon who murdered and killed so many in Lebanon and many other places including over 45000 Syrians.

EVEN IF Saqr is convicted, I have a question for hizbocrap supporters...what was their reaction when a hizbocrap member was arrested in Egypt for smuggling weapons to Gaza?

you have to be an arab to classify other if they are arabs or not.

why? Both Hamas and the FSA are Arabs and they are both against the ASSad regime...

why are you so obsessed with that stuff? nasrocrap not giving it enough to you? or is he only interested in you bending over...

as usual, when you are cornered ft you resort to low level insults that depict your true personality, and what you like to do on a daily basis apparently.

you a farsi that takes order from a nazi anti suni hater called khameni, therefore you are not an Arab. In the welayat fakih creed the hatred for suni arabs far exceeds that of jews which explains sending your thugs to fight the sunis in Syria, and now helping the syrian regime kill the palestenians in yarmook as well. Your mind fails to understand the storm that is coming your way. Again your hegemony days are numbered.

by the way Gaza back then was also in a state of deep division between Hamas and Fatah. The parallels are overwhelming...

I sure hope he got his retainer and his past and future fees paid in full up front, I have a feeling any post dated checks will be bouncing like a Toufic Alame at in redneck bar.

yes you will assasinate him once he is back just like you did wesam 7asan, why dont you just say it? but those days are coming to an end, and the sunis will start shooting back at you idiot, i hope the wise amongst the she3as take the lead because your nasrala is taking you to destruction just like bashar is doing to the alawites and hitler before him to the nazis.

you are refusing to believe your worse nightmare: the days of miority hegemony in the region is over, just take a look at Syria and realize that the suni storm is coming. I remember when you made fun of the demos in der3a, did you ever imagine the snow ball will grow this much?? of course not because you are a racist arrogant suni hater. The snow ball is coming to lebanon and just like the she3as have hizbustan there is no shortage of crazy jihadi sunis.

Naharnet deleted my post! I insist on putting it out there.
Why is the Lebanese Judiciary involved in a case of an alleged debatable crime that happened beyond its borders. Do they even have the jurisdiction?
If we appointed a lawyer to sue those involved in Michel Samaha in Syria do you think it would fly?
