SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

Now Lebanon - Armed militias took over airport to receive human rights abuser, Allouch says - September 19, 2010

Future Movement official Mustafa Allouch said in a press conference on Sunday that armed militias took over Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport on Saturday to receive “one of the biggest abusers of security, freedom, and human rights in Lebanon’s history,” a reference to former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed.

Sayyed returned to Beirut from Paris on Saturday, days after Attorney General Judge Said Mirza summoned the former for questioning over his threatening speeches. Sayyed was received at the airport by a delegation that reportedly included members of Hezbollah and other March 8 coalition parties.

There is no turning back from the STL because it has been chosen by the people to put an end to political assassinations, Allouch also said.
