Now Lebanon - Mawlawi’s lawyer insists on his client’s innocence, May 22 2012


Mohammad Hafza, the lawyer of Lebanese citizen Shadi al-Mawlawi, said on Tuesday that his client was innocent and did not belong to a terrorist group.
Hafza told Future News that the judge questioned Mawlawi on his history of communications via the online communication service “Skype.”
The lawyer said that the data shown in the history “did not include anything that convicts Mawlawi.”
He also said that Mawlawi believed in Salafism, but did not belong to any organization.
“All parties are exercising pressure regarding this case,” he also added.
Clashes and protests in the Lebanese northern city of Tripoli followed the arrest of Mawlawi earlier in May by General Security at a social services center belonging to Finance Minister Mohammad Safadi.
