U.N. Representatives in Lebanon Call for Justice for Lokman Slim
U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Joanna Wronecka and U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator Najat Rochdi have posted tweets commemorating slain Lebanese activist and researcher Lokman Slim, on the first anniversary of his assassination.
Wronecka, who attended a tribute to Slim at his Haret Hreik residence, said “his voice is missed – but the call for freedom, truth and reform cannot be silenced.”
“As United Nations, we will continue to push for justice and accountability,” she added.
Rochdi for her part said that Slim was killed but his voice “has never been silenced!”
“I salute his wife Monika, family & friends for continuing the fight in search of truth & justice. Perpetrators must be brought to justice & impunity must end in Lebanon,” she added.
Lokman Slim, Hizbollah's henchmen may assassinate you, but they can never kill your spirit. They sought their barbarism will scare others and silence opposition; instead your exceptional bravery taught their brainwashed sheep followers the meaning of courage, independence and dignity. You lived and died free, they live in fear and required to be obedient servant of their master living in backward and oppressive environment no questions asked. You will always be the mirror illustrating Lebanese Shiaa's heritage, civility and intellectual depth while reflecting their barbarism, ignorance and brutal Basij culture. We miss you! We hope your sister can be your voice at Cedar Revolution II peaceful march next month.
