Daily Star - Geagea: Kidnappings skew image of Lebanon, November 9th 2011


BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea said Tuesday the reported series of kidnappings of Syrian opposition members in Lebanon was distorting the image of the country, urging top leaders to take action and prevent the increasing activity.
“What is happening in this regard is unacceptable as this will lead to distorting the image of Lebanon and its government,” Geagea told reporters after meeting Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin.
“People are not feeling safe [in their own country] and the kidnapping of Syrian refugees, whether opposition members or those loyal to the regime is intolerable,” he said.
