Deqmaq Released from Detention after Brief Arrest
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةSalafist cleric Sheikh Bilal Deqmaq was released from custody after being arrested a week ago, reported MTV.
The cleric was detained on February 18 after being deported from Turkey.
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr ordered the cleric's release because no terrorist charges had been filed against him.
Deqmaq was only charged with possessing weapons that are not licensed to him, media reports said.
He was arrested at Rafik Hariri International Airport upon his return to Lebanon last week.
According to the National News Agency, Deqmaq, who is based in the northern city of Tripoli, was briefly detained on November 15 by Turkish authorities on charges of smuggling cash.
The military prosecutor issued an arrest warrant against Deqmaq after the Lebanese army raided an arms cache at his residence in late October.
Another wanted Salafist cleric, Dai al-Islam al-Shahhal, said at the time that the weapons belonged to him and demanded their return.
The Lebanese soldiers have arrested scores of militants and seized arms caches in Tripoli after several days of battles in October in and around the coastal city.

Kanaandian, he is far more than ugly, he is a terrorist period. He he had the strength believe you me, him and his likes would have used it to blow Lebanon out of this earth. These people are sheer hypocrites who play by one rule, when weak incite, when strong, behead. If I was the law, first I'll shave them dry from up to bottom, then I'll send them to justice, then when found guilty beyond reasonable doubt, just hang them, why waste space and the taxpayers money?
