Aoun Slams Rifi, al-Hasan over Roumieh 'Major Scandal'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Tuesday held Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi and ISF Intelligence Bureau chief Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan responsible for the escape of three Fatah al-Islam inmates from the Roumieh prison, voicing rejection of the 50 districts electoral law proposed by his Christian rivals.
“It is unreasonable to be able to arrest Israeli spies without being able to arrest inmates or seize cellphones and knives. The main responsibility falls on the Intelligence Bureau, Wissam al-Hassan and his boss Ashraf Rifi, and the officers are the last to blame,” said Aoun after the weekly meeting of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc in Rabiyeh.
“What happened in the Roumieh prison is a major scandal,” Aoun added.
Eleven security personnel and two officers were referred to the Military Court on Monday over the jailbreak on charges of "negligence and direct responsibility." The two officers are the prison's commander Major Ahmed Abou Daher and Lieutenant Abdul Hafiz Fawwaz.
“Who is facilitating the escape of prisoners? I'm sure it's not 'the angels,' but rather some officials inside the prison,” Aoun added.
“In 2011, I submitted an urgent bill to build two prisons and it was approved by parliament, but until now the ministry has not launched the project or done anything,” the FPM leader lamented.
Aoun raised the issue of a recent TV report about scandals in the Customs Department.
“I hold the state responsible for this because there is no chairman for the board of directors although there are candidates and there is a mechanism for administrative appointments. How can an institution function without a head?” Aoun added.
He accused the government of being “complicit in the crime that is being committed against the Lebanese state.”
Turning to the issue of the electoral law, Aoun noted that “the 50 electorates law was not discussed in the Bkirki meetings.”
“How did they come up with it? Let them say that they don't want the law proposed by the Orthodox Gathering,” he added.
“They are rejecting all the draft laws in order to keep the 1960 law, which is the ugliest electoral law ever implemented,” Aoun noted.
On Monday, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea voiced his rejection of the 1960 electoral law, describing it as “inappropriate” and noting that the LF will try to convince all parties of its proposal, which is based on dividing Lebanon into 50 electoral districts.
“I call on Aoun and the FPM to endorse this law, which has the support of 55 MPs and only needs the support of Aoun's bloc to gain the needed majority,” Geagea added.

I agree with him base on: you are what you eat / you are what you hang out with (Aoun hangs out with terrorists and murderers indeed)

LOL.....I see schizo Farsi Dr. BSThrower and other face Mr. Motormouth pathetically (more like desperately) trying to voice an inferior point of view once again on a site that clearly has them pin-pointed as HA puppets.

March 14, listen to me well. This Aoun character has become a serious pain in my neck. He blames two great guys, Rifi and al-Hassan for things they have absolutely nothing to do with! Does he think March 14 are dumb? How dare he? HOW? Shame on him especially that he knows that this mess is the responsibility of Imad Marmal, Suleiman Franjiyeh, Nasser Qandil and Wiam Wahab, all friends and allies of Hizbullah, the forces of evil and backwardness and the Wilayat al-Faqih nonsense! March 14, I beg you, do something to silence this loud mouth Aoun character. He is getting on my nerves, guys. So, I beg you, get together and with one voice shout: Down with Aoun. Down with Aoun. Down with Aoun. I've had it with him. Thank you in advance, March 14 warriors.

I wonder whose government it is??? and by the way Rifi and Al Hassan has nothing to do with this.why should he slam them?All the security officers in the prison should be dismissed and have new security officers.Money talks it seems...how much were they bribed to free them?if there are bunches of idiots around it doesn't mean its the fault of Rifi and Al Hassan...
