The Organization of Reporters Against Violence called for stripping Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Nawwaf al-Moussawi of his parliamentary immunity and detaining him on “charges of intellectual terrorism,” according to a statement issued by the organization on Monday.
Moussawi said on Friday that any group in Lebanon that “abides by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL)[pending] indictment will be dealt with on the basis that it is one of the tools of US-Israeli aggression.”
The organization also criticized Moussawi’s statement on the incident at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport. Al-Akhbar newspaper quoted Moussawi as saying on Monday, “What happened at the airport was [our] right as MPs, and it will happen again whenever we want.”
On September 18, Hezbollah MPs and armed bodyguards escorted former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed from the airport after his arrival from Paris. Earlier that week, Sayyed had been summoned by the Lebanese judiciary for questioning over speeches in which he threatened Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
Democracy and political freedom cannot be set right when there are parties who fulfill the aims of their Iranian and Syrian masters, the Organization of Reporters Against Violence added.
