Men Charged with Threatening to Kill Harqous
Detainees Adonis Assaad Nasser, Mohammed Ali Awdeh and Ali Rida Hassan were charged Wednesday with threatening to kill Future TV reporter Omar Harqous.
Court of Appeals Judge Joseph Maamari also charged the three detainees with beating Harqous, causing bodily harm to the television reporter and leaving him unable to work for 10 days.
Harqous was admitted to the American University Hospital for treatment from fractures and bruises suffered during an attack by a group of Syrian Social National Party members as he was covering an event in Beirut”s Hamra Street last Thursday.
Future TV said Harqous was attacked by more than 15 SSNP members.
The SSNP said only one person was involved in the quarrel and he had turned himself in to security forces.
