Promote political freedom or risk returning to exiles and assassinations
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, on Sunday, urged people to demonstrate their dedication to political freedoms for all people under the law or risk returning to a period of exiles, suppression of freedoms and assassinations.
He said that that the assassination of Ramzi Irani, an Lebanese Forces activist who was killed in May 2002, along with other murders, had led to the independence uprising. Geagea said, “This is why we cannot allow anyone to compromise what this glorious uprising has achieved.”
Geagea, during a memorial for Irani’s assassination, said that on June 7, Lebanon’s future is at stake.
He added that, “We either continue the march for freedom or we open our doors to security and totalitarian regimes.”
“We either vote correctly and for the Cedar Revolution or we put ourselves and Lebanon in danger of marching again behind the coffins of our children,” Geagea added.
