Militia practices further commit us to democracy
The Lebanese Forces issued a statement on Friday condemning the burning of a restaurant owned by one of its supporters on Thursday in Batroun.
The statement added that the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for June 7 “were decisive, because the people would either support Lebanon’s independence, sovereignty and freedom or the state-within-state.”
“Some militias’ practices urge us to be committed to democracy in a civilized manner,” the statement read.
The statement also called on security forces to firmly carry out their duties, and to strike against all those responsible for security breaches “with an iron fist."
