سليمان طلب من حمود ان يشرح للمحكمة الدولية "التزام لبنان حرية الاعلام المسؤولة"

last i looked, Lebanon criminalized a private citizen for expressing his
personal view on his private facebook wall.

WTF??

Is this appeasement of the Iranian militia, or does he really not understand the difference between "freedom of the press" and witness tampering?

Publishing the names of witnesses serves 2 purposes:

1. Notify the murderers or Hariri, Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Hawi, Eid, Al Hassan, and Chatah of the people who could help convict them of their crimes, and place these witnesses as targets for assassination.

2. Intimidate the witnesses, in an attempt to prevent their testimony. These witnesses agreed to testify under the promise of anonymity, so that their lives would not be put in danger from execution by the Iranian terrorist militia. This intimidation and publishing of confidential witness names is called "witness tampering", and there are laws against it in all civilized countries.

For those who complain about the leaking of information published by CBC and Der Spiegel, those leaks did not constitute a crime, unless the information is inaccurate. If the information was false,the suspects can sue CBC and Der Spiegel for libel.

southern - whenever things are not your way- they are corrupt and unworthy- a prevailing mentality suffered by most of humanity- cheers - you are not alone!

Suleiman Asks General Prosecutor to Explain to STL Lebanon's Commitment to Freedom of Media.........
There is no Freedom of Media in Lebanon. Our Media serves Political Parties who in turn serve foreign interests. It is all bought and paid for. In this case Pro-HA media is working to sabotage the STL efforts by releasing names of witnesses and hence intimidating them.

Maybe the General Prosecutor could also explain freedom of media to Iran... i mean Hezbollah.

When their raid media organisations.

When they murder journalists.

When they block roads over satire and comedy.

Someone should remind them that this is Lebanon ! Not Iran. And they, like any other citizen answer to Lebanese laws !

@Southern : Had the STL not existed and these trash journalists done the same with Lebanese court, they would have faced the same charges!

it doesnt matter if its fake/corrupted or not, what matters is its goal...getting rid of a leech that is sucking lebanon dry..
wishing it all the success it deserves!
