MP Tohme urges government to expel Syria’s envoy

Share:

March 14 MP Nidal Tohme urged the government to expel the Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdel Karim Ali, National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

“ I urge the government to expel the Syrian ambassador immediately… there is no place for him among us as long as his country does not take quick measures to release the Lebanese nationals that were abducted earlier in the day in Abboudiyeh ,” Tohme said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Syrian forces detained two Lebanese – one Sunni, one Alawite – as they made their way home from across the border, sparking unrest near the border, AFP quoted a Lebanese official as saying.

The MP also called for drafting a formal complaint to the UN Security Council saying that “it is not acceptable that the Lebanese remain subject to abductions and killings.”

On Tuesday, Western countries including the United States, Britain, France Spain and Australia all expelled the highest ranking Syrian diplomats in their countries in a bid to increase pressure on President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

More than 13,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died since the Syrian uprising began, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, including nearly 1,500 since the UN-backed truce took effect April 12.

The Lebanese government is dominated by the Hezbollah militant group, a staunch ally of the Syrian regime, where a predominantly Sunni uprising is trying to oust the Assad family dynasty.

    Your words are falling on deaf ears. How can a governmet run by thugs, supported by the syrian regime ask one of their ambassadors to F%#k off. Stop wasting time on stupid things. Pay and send someone to the embassy, grab the fooker and escort him to the border and dump him there, period! If HA can escort criminals around, I’m pretty sure you can do it too!

  5. Throw this smiling stupid Syrian clown and idiot out of Lebanon on his ears…..I would love to see that stupid smile wiped off his face, and can’t wait for that to happen. When his boy Bashar is hanging from the light poles in Damascus, he should be right next to him….moron….
