Now Lebanon - Rifi’s report on kidnapped Syrian is well documented, daily reports, October 15, 2011

An-Nahar newspaper quoted on Saturday an MP from the Human Rights parliamentary committee as saying that “the file presented by Internal Security Forces General Director Ashraf Rifi to the military judiciary regarding the case of the abduction of four Syrian nationals in Lebanon is supported by evidence.”
In March the Syrian national Jassem Merii al-Jassem and his three brothers Chedid, Ahmad and Ali were abducted in Lebanon.
On May 14, Syrian Baath Party member Shibli Ayssami was kidnapped, two months after the breakout of widespread anti-regime protests in Syria and the government’s violent crackdown.
The MP noted that “the daughter of Shibli Ayssami said that the Syrian Ambassador to the US called her father and asked him to launch stances supporting the Syrian regime and condemning the Syrian opposition, but her father turned down his request.”
The daily also quoted another unnamed MP as saying that “a parliamentary question is being prepared for the government on the aforementioned issue, as well as on the issue of the disappearance of the Middle East Airlines’ Information Technology Operations Manager Joseph Sader.”
“The government will also be asked to publish Rifi’s report so that the public opinion can review it in details,” the MP added.
Masked kidnappers grabbed the Middle East Airlines’ Information Technology Operations Manager as he walked to the airport on February 12, 2009.
