Asir Announces Series of Protests, Rejects Saqr's Calls for Interrogation
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Bilal bin Rabah mosque Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir announced on Tuesday the launch of a series of protests scheduled to take place after every Friday's prayers if the cabinet “does not respond to his demands”.
"We will not stop our activities until the cabinet responds to our demands and restores our dignity,” Asir said in a press conference.
"Our protests will be peaceful but we will respond if attacked,” he confirmed.
Asir called on his followers to “get ready”: “I apologize ahead from the traders in (the southern city of) Sidon and the people of the city as we might disturb their businesses and their daily activities”.
"But our dignity is above all,” he noted.
The Islamist cleric also attacked State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr's request to interrogate him.
“You show off strength only when attacking us while in front of Hizbullah you are weak and coward,” Asir expressed.
Saqr had tasked security forces with informing Asir that he needs to comply with the request to interrogate him, reported the National News Agency Tuesday.
The request has however been rejected on a daily basis, it added.
Saqr demanded on Saturday police from the southern city of Sidon to interrogate the Salafist cleric over the possession of arms.
"Asir will be questioned over the arms that were in the possession of his supporters on Friday," LBCI television said.
Commenting on the call to interrogate him, Asir said Saturday: “We urge concerned authorities to first put (Speaker Nabih) Berri and (Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan) Nasrallah on trial for their crimes".
Asir and his supporters deployed Friday with their weapons around Sidon's Bilal bin Rabah mosque, amid a heavy deployment by the army and security forces.

Assir is a good man, he's trying to help us get rid of Hezbollah's weapons that have been used against Israel, Lebanese that disagree with them and finally the Free Syrian people.

the most important freedom is your personal one. Assir doesnt believe in personal fredoms, he wants you and I to live like saudis do in Riyadh. He wants people's heads chopped off, hands chopped off, he wants to re-introduce lashing, he wants to back alchohol and women from the littlest freedoms such as driving. Hitler started peacefully and...

@eltigar (im neither shia or sunni, i was born druze, but by the age of 4 i realized how silly it was to label myself as part of a sect)- yessss sunnis the real muslims, of course because God came down to you and told you that right? he said sunnis are the real muslims and shias are heretics, of course how can we question that? sorry i apologise, i want to be a sunni now so i can go to heaven because some inbred sheikh from saudi arabia said that in a video posted on youtube.

don't agree with Asir, but HA hasn't turned over a single person in any court anywhere. No person or group should be above the law and that includes EVERYBODY, and stop mentioning zionist conspiracies. that is getting so old.
and karim--stay away from sniffing glue and gasoline--you are repeating yourself too much these days. i would suggest vodka tonics and single malt scotches instead. may be able to think a bit better that way....

Al Assir doesn't answer to man made kaffir laws, but neither does Hassan Nasrallah.
