SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

Kanaan: No legal basis for arrest of Sleiman’s Facebook offenders
Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan told LBCI Tuesday that the arrest of the Lebanese youths for defaming President Michel Sleiman on Facebook is not legally justified and should not have happened.
First Judge of Beirut Ghassan Oueidat issued indictments on Tuesday against three people over the charges.
“The matter does not deserve such reaction. It would be dangerous to assault the freedom of expression,” Kanaan said.
The MP demanded the three youths be released.
