Progressive Socialist
Party leader MP Walid Jumblat accused on Thursday General Security chief Maj.
Gen. Abbas Ibrahim of utterly following the Syrian regime’s orders by deporting
14 Syrians.
“It would be useful to
remind (Ibrahim) that Syria and during the stability period in the country
didn’t have any true concept of independent judicial system, like all the other
dictatorial regimes,” Jumblat said in a statement.
He called on the cabinet
and the competent Lebanese authorities to clarify the matter and to launch an
investigation to determine those who are responsible for it.
The cabinet should “take
all the disciplinary measures against the Maj. Gen. and to sack him if
necessary to halt this ongoing charade,” Jumblat said.
The General Security
deported on Wednesday 14 Syrians wanted for common law not political offences
by their country, it said in a communique.
The Druze leader lashed
out at Ibrahim, saying that the fate of these 14 men will be “their murder and
liquidation before proving them guilty.”
“The accusations are
fabricated and match with the Syrian regime’s traditional methods in excluding
anyone who opposes it,” Jumblat said.
He stressed his
rejection to handing over any Syrian national who had fled into Lebanon for
safe haven under any excuse and for any reason.
“This doesn’t come in
accordance with the authorities’ decision to disassociate the country to
safeguard it. It is merely a biased stance leaning towards the Syrian regime,”
Jumblat said.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/48694
