Two arrested in Koura town for insulting ISF and Bkirki
Two people have been arrested for preventing members of an Internal Security Forces patrol from removing a construction violation in the Koura town of Kfar Qahel as well as hurling insults against the patrol’s members and Bkirki.
“To preserve the state’s prestige and prevent any transgression against religious authorities and security forces, the (ISF’s) Intelligence Branch arrested Diaa and Mustafa Qaraali in Batroun after they insulted security forces and Bkirki in Kfar Qahel, Koura,” caretaker Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi tweeted.
In a video that went viral on social media, the two men are seen confronting the ISF members, hurling insults at them and Bkirki and threatening to destroy an ISF vehicle. One of them also threatened to seek the intervention of the Hezbollah-linked Resistance Brigades, which eventually denied any link to the incident.
The incident drew condemnations from several parties, including the Maronite League, MP Tony Franjieh of the Marada Movement, MP George Atallah of the Free Patriotic Movement and MP Fadi Karam of the Lebanese Forces.
