Wheelchair-bound depositor who stormed Credit Libanais admitted to hospital

A depositor who was arrested after having stormed a bank in Hazmieh was admitted to hospital Friday as his health condition deteriorated in custody.

Wheelchair-bound Ibrahim Baydoun was taken to al-Hayat Hospital as he required intensive care treatment, al-Jadeed TV said.

Along with Ali al-Saheli, Catherine al-Ali and prominent lawyer and activist Rami Ollaik, Baydoun stormed Wednesday the Credit Libanais bank in Hazmieh and the four were taken to the Justice Palace in Baabda for interrogation.

Baydoun and Saheli had managed to obtain $55,000 from the bank but al-Jadeed TV reported that the money was eventually seized by security forces at the request of Attorney General Ghassan Khoury.

Meanwhile, Ollaik has been been on a hunger strike for two days to protest his arrest.
