إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Permanent Military Court on Wednesday sentenced Charbel Qazzi, the head of the maintenance department at the state-owned mobile phone firm Alfa, to seven years hard labor on charges of collaborating with Israel, state-run National News Agency reported.

Qazzi was arrested in June 2010 and charged with passing on information to Israeli spies that aided the Jewish state in its 2006 war against Hizbullah.

After the arrest of Qazzi, several other telecom sector employees were detained on charges of spying for Israel. One of them was released for lack of evidence while the family of another has stressed his innocence and claimed he was forced to confess under torture.

More than 100 people in Lebanon have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel since April 2009, including military personnel and telecoms employees.

7 years is too long.... 7 years the people of lebanon have to pay for his food and living in prision. 7 years of the tax payers money is spent on a prisioner instead of spending it on people who really need money.

Deport him to israel if he was working for them. let them feed him. that is what developed copuntries do. we are so behind of been labeled as a developping or modernised country
