Kataeb bloc MP Sami Gemayel said on Wednesday that security forces have dangerous information pertaining to the involvement of the Syrian Embassy in Lebanon in the kidnapping Syrian opposition figures residing in Lebanon.
“Internal Security Forces Director General Achraf Rifi gave dangerous information about the kidnapping of [Syrian opposition figure] Shibli al-Ayssami,” and three other Syrian nationals during Monday’s meeting of the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee, he told AFP.
Gemayel also called on the Lebanese judiciary to take charge of the case.
“I requested the presence of Attorney General Judge Said Mirza during the next committee’s meeting because the information provided by Rifi should lead to arrests,” the Kataeb MP added.
Meanwhile, AFP reported that Ayssami’s daughter, Raja Sharafeddine, said that Rifi’s investigation “clearly points to the Syrian embassy in my father's disappearance.”
Al-Jumhuriya newspaper reported Tuesday that Rifi told the Parliamentary Human Rights Committee that “Lebanese security forces assigned to protect the Syrian embassy in Lebanon kidnapped four [dissident] Syrians using embassy vehicles.”
The Syrian Council for Human Rights on May 26 reported that Ayssami went missing in Aley while having a walk in the streets of the city.
