MP Geagea Receives Threats after Rejecting Attacks against President
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces MP Strida Geagea said Monday that she received threats on her mobile, calling on security agencies to pursue the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Geagea “received a series of phone calls issuing different threats against her on Sunday and today (Monday),” her press office said in a statement.
“This is not the first time that such threats are made against MP Geagea,” it said, adding that the first time was before the formation of the new cabinet and during the time a suspicious drone flew over her residence in Maarab.
The calls and the overflights stopped when the government of Premier Tammam Salam was formed, it said.
But the threats renewed when on Sunday she clearly voiced her backing to President Michel Suleiman against Hizbullah's rhetoric.
The president said Friday that Lebanese parties should not hold onto inflexible equations that hinder the adoption of the new government's policy statement.
His remark drew a sharp retort from Hizbullah, which said the president needed “specialized care.”
“MP Geagea began receiving phone calls from unknown numbers threatening her and making insults against her,” her press office said.
The lawmaker, who is the wife of LF leader Samir Geagea, hoped the security and judicial agencies would follow up on the “dangerous case,” urging them to take the appropriate measures to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
Such threats won't affect her principles and her stances from patriotic causes, the statement added.

The planes were imaginary, snipers were too, phone threats are illusions and even the assisinations since 2005 were fake, this is how Hezbollah interprets the situation. Sniffing the government phone infrastructure, not paying electricity and building illegally on the airport road are simply the minimum tiny tiny price that the resistance should earn.

FT., I thought it is the other way around .... HA is justified because Shia are the victims of Israeli/PLO aggression over the years. RIGHT?

FT, today in this same forum, there's a thread about Mr. Berri also claiming to be threatened as well. To be honest, I did not see you gentlemen of the M8 ideology write in the same way as concerns Mrs. Geagea. Then, why is it that what is good for the goose is not good for the gander if I may ask?

I think she would be a dead root in bed. What do you think boys? Or maybe she is a wild one? She does look like a stallion. No wonder she separated from Samir lady geagea. Seriously this family and tribe has an itch to show up on TV or make their voice heard.

Brother Roar, why the surprise? Berri said it a couple of days ago, imagine in the Lebanon of today, someone talking falsely on behalf of Berri. Then to you my honorable brother FT, I respect your views too, but what I am trying to bring you to focus upon, is why treat what Mrs. Geagea says with such disdain, yet prefer to have quite another approach when it comes to an M8 figure. Just my drifts bros.

phoenix there are big differences:
first, berri did not come and say oooh i received phone calls they are threatening me, it's the army who said they had information from arrested terrorists that they were planning to assassinate him
and second, berri whether we like him or not, is one of the main players. on the same level as nasrallah and aoun in m8. but who is strida? does she have any weight? seriously now.. who would even bother? unless it was to create a renewed wave of sympathy for m14

@ Wolf, not that i support Geagea and his zero charisma so as his speeches which have more rhymes than sense, but your answer to him is pathetic, so as your signature at the end, who the hell do you think you are? Victor Hugo? Grow up and find some real arguments to deal with those kind of speeches of politicians that you do not support. Let me give you an example, Geagea says there are drones flying by , might be right, but they might be Israeli drones, or maybe Hezbollah, but yet again, why would any of them send a drone to Ma3rab? to spy on what type of food he likes and if he eats with salt or not? in both cases , it makes no sense. As for the phone calls or messages to Sitrida, as Flamethrower said, it can be traced back by security forces allied with the telecom ministry of Boutros Harb. Unless a new kind of separate communication network has been setup by March 8th during their tenure of the governement...

Phoenix doesn't have double standards, but neither logic sadly.
