Merhebi condemns detention of human rights activist

Future bloc MP Mouin al-Merhebi condemned in remarks published Wednesday the detention of Saadeddine Shatila, human Rights NGO Alkarama's representative in Lebanon.

Shatila said in remarks published Wednesday that Lebanese military intelligence summoned him for interrogation on Tuesday, and that he was detained on Monday for more than six hours.

“The Lebanese regime gets along with the Syrian one. They are [now] completely the same as they both depend on detentions and on violating human rights to confront the Arab Spring,” Merhebi told As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper.

The MP also said that Lebanese security forces are dealing “vengefully” with the Lebanese who support the Syrian people based on “Syrian orders.”

“The Syrian and the Lebanese regime confirm again that their destinies are united and hopefully they will very soon fall together.”

Anti-regime protests erupted in Syria in mid-March. According to activists, the Syrian government’s crackdown on protests has left more than 1,400 civilians dead and thousands jailed.
