Now Lebanon - Al-Jassem brothers’ abduction lawsuit dropped, An-Nahar reports, October 19, 2011

An-Nahar newspaper quoted a judicial source as saying that “the family of the Syrian Al-Jassem brothers [who were abducted in Lebanon] dropped the lawsuit that they had filed for the abduction, and said that their sons are present in Syria.”
“The lawsuit was then considered irrelevant and was referred to the public prosecution,” the source added.
On October 11, Al-Jumhuriya newspaper reported that ISF Chief General Ashraf Rifi told the Human Rights parliamentary committee that “members of the Lebanese security forces assigned to protect the Syrian embassy in Lebanon kidnapped Syrians using embassy vehicles.”
In March, Syrian National Jassem Merii al-Jassem and his three brothers Chedid, Ahmad and Ali were abducted in Lebanon.
Thousands of Syrians have fled into Lebanon in recent months, often using illegal border crossings, to escape the unrest gripping their country.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have cracked down on protests against almost five decades of Baath Party rule which broke out mid-March, killing over 3,000 people according to the UN Human Rights Committee, and triggering a torrent of international condemnation.
