Aoun sues Geagea, others

Share:

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun filed a lawsuit against Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea over his recent statements on the political assassinations in Lebanon since 2005, FPM press office revealed on Saturday in a statement

According to the statement, Aoun also filed a lawsuit against the Central News Agency ( al Markaziyeh) , Lebanese Forces’ website and al-Mustaqbal newspaper for misleading the judicial investigation for inciting a sectarian strife.

The lawsuit is in response to Geagea’s statement to Al-Markaziya news agency on May 16, 2012 in which he held Aoun ‘ethically and morally responsible’ for the political assassination attempts since 2005 until today,” the FPM’s statement said.

Background

On April 4 the Lebanese Forces leader survived an assassination attempt when he was shot at by “snipers” as he was walking with bodyguards outside his residence in Maarab. The bullets reportedly left holes in the wall of his house.

Earlier this month Geagea said that “Hezbollah and the leadership of the Free Patriotic Movement are either [directly or indirectly] involved in the assassination attempt” against him “by misleading the investigation and helping the perpetrators.”

Last month Geagea told al Arabiya that the rival camp ( Hezbollah -led March 8 ) and its regional backers ( Iran and Syria) “has an interest” in eliminating him from the political scene adding that his “attempt to put the Christians at the heart of the Arab Spring ( specially in Syria) is an additional factor in the assassination attempt” that he survived

    Here we go again, pitting Christians against Christians, Moslems against Moslems….and for what!!!!!
    Loyalty to a foreign entity that conceptually through an alliance will guarantee the presidency of Lebanon. Isn’t the truth. One is a follower of syria, the other for iran, another for USA, another for china, another for UAE, saudi arabia and so on….. No one is looking for the well being of the citizens and the country. No matter what the cost is they will ensue strife, division and create sectarian fighting and rise to a position at the cost of the martyrs who die for no reason. I dare you to ask the fighters in tripoli about their cause, and you will hear many stories/reasons, there is no common ground under which we are unified and the chaos continues.

    To sue is the way to go. Must endorse the judiciary system instead of stepping over it an taking action in hand. Even a maid can sue equally and create havoc for a politician as in the case of former IMF leader. For long time lebanese politicians have always thought to be above the law.
    Anyone wants to sue Nassrallah?
    But Nassrallah wants to keep geagea busy with Aoun’s big mouth away from politics while elections are shaping up.
