In-Absentia Arrest Warrant Issued for Rabih al-Zein
Mount Lebanon Investigative Judge Bassam al-Hajj on Friday dismissed a medical report filed by the lawyer of protest movement activist Rabih al-Zein.
The judge also issued an in-absentia arrest warrant for al-Zein and ordered a broader investigation.
The lawyer, Nouhad Salma, said al-Zein has been admitted into hospital over a medical emergency.
“I presented a medical report from the doctor examining my client, but the report was rejected by Judge al-Hajj who considered to be not serious and aimed at procrastination,” the lawyer added.
He also noted that the arrest warrant is related to “incitement to the firebombing of banks and the torching of the office of the Free Patriotic Movement” in Jounieh.
Al-Zein had been released on bail earlier this week.

It reminds me of the old quote from Louis XVI upon being informed in 1789 that the French people had stormed the Bastille. The King asked, “Is it a revolt?”
“No, sire,” the duke replied, “It is a revolution.”
Unfortunately, our beloved drooling king in Baabda and his son in law have no idea that it is even a revolt the country is passing by.
The revolution is coming and its reign of terror as well as its dictator that will follow (a standard outcome of a revolution since 1789), and heads will fall and rulers will pay the cost of their corruption in blood if not in cash.
