Saqr after Examination Proved Tapes Original: I'm Pursuing Legal Action and Accusers Must Get Death Penalty
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal bloc MP Oqab Saqr said on Saturday that he will file a lawsuit against “all those who were involved in forging recordings of phone conversations between him and members of the Syrian opposition”.
Saqr told Future TV: “Those who accused me of manipulating these tape should get the same penalization they demanded I receive and which is death penalty”.
The MP's statement came after a report that aired on al-Jadeed TV on Friday revealed that the audios played by Saqr during a press conference he held in Istanbul are not forged.
The TV channel had sent these tapes to Audio Forestec Services, a British company that specializes in audio detection, to examine whether they have been manipulated or not.
“The results of the testing revealed that these tapes are not forged but are original copies,” al-Jadeed reported.
“The company's judgment means that the audiotapes played on other media channels have in fact been altered,” the MP expressed.
OTV and al-Akhbar newspaper, both close to the Hizbullah-led March 8 majority coalition, broadcast and printed a three-part series of recordings in which the lawmaker allegedly discussed arrangements to ship arms supplies to the Syrian opposition.
Saqr held a press conference in Istanbul as a response, challenging the Syrian government and his Lebanese foes to prove that he was indeed providing rebels with weapons.
During the press conference, Saqr said the audiotapes were stolen from two computers and only partially broadcast.
The MP broadcast instead several of the original tapes. In one of them he told a rebel identified as Abu Nehman that he supported the Syrian revolution but did not provide arms to the rebels after the man asked for “iron.”
Saqr said he was negotiating with Abu Nehman the release of the remaining Lebanese pilgrims kidnapped in Syria's Aazaz but OTV and al-Akhbar cut the recordings to accuse him that he was striking an arms deal.

where is the logic. You could have made these non forged tapes later with anyone passing as teh syrian party and you could say whatever u want.

Al jadeed is conducting the investigation. To prove the other recordings are forged, don't you have to test them too. I agree with lebanon_first.

@lebanon_first and @jcamerican
You are kidding no doubt, right?
If not, just use your brains, no matter how good one is at re-making the tapes they can not duplicate each and every voice intonation, frequency, level and modality as compared to the version OTV and Al-Akhbar have. It would real simple to detect. Come on guys, some common sense and use your brains please.

this is ludicrous!
there you have results of forensic testing of the tapes that prove the tapes he forwarded are not manipulated, and brainwashed m8 guys show how blind they are trusting their masters above all.
how can you build a country with m8?

I have no common sense. In the US, we have big problem with the FBI forensic lab, fabricating false evidence. Just read and learn, not to trust anything. But you guys anything you like, you jump on it.

Where is flamer? We had a bet about who doctored the tape and I won. Lets see if you are man enough to admit aoun has no principles.

WHAT???? i thought Al-akhbar "experts" did their own tests and proved they were fake and doctored.. Mowaten.. can you please clarify? because you seem to think Al-Akhbar is the pinnacle of truth... lolol

i agree why.. wouldnt hold it against him if he was... but nice to rub it in their eye about how full of crap their t.v. stations turned out to be... Mowaten.. please never quote an Al-Akhbar source again.

@Slash: Both M8 and M14 are helping and supporting their sides in the Syrian war. No one can deny that, which is why it is stupid to believe someone like Okab Saqr who claims milk and blankets. And I'll believe the international media any time and any day over all of our biased media. I know internaitonal media is also biased, but I don't want to get into that debate here. Lebanese media is for sale to the highest bidder and everyone knows it.

pity what is going on among us. No need for evidence. Level of mistrust is such between m8 and M14 that with or without the strongest evidence every side will accuse the other.
