Duraid Lahham Visits Rifi after Qalamoun Incident
Syrian actor Duraid Lahham visited Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi on Sunday, a day after he was forced out of a town in northern Lebanon over his support for the Syrian regime of President Bashar Assad.
A statement carried by the National News Agency said Lahham visited Rifi to announce his “support and appreciation” for ISF's “constructive” role.
Lahham “lauded the efforts exerted by security personnel to preserve order, impose security, and protect people and private and public properties,” it said.
NNA said Saturday that Lahham was shooting a movie scene at a villa in the area of Qalamoun when several men chanting anti-Assad slogans asked the actor to leave the town.
ISF immediately interfered and Lahham left, it added, without giving further details.
Lahham, a comedian and a director, is well known for his acts under the nickname Ghawar al-Toushe.
