Lebanese Army exceeds red lines in humiliating Syrians, forced woman to get out naked

(Translation by Yusra Ahmed)

The Lebanese Army has exceeded all the red lines in the bad treatment of Syrian refugees, they even forced a woman to get out of the bathroom naked beside humiliating children and women. 

Sheikh Hosam Ghali, member of the International Union for Muslim Scholars and the secretary of Muslims Scholars Body and coordinator of relief and development organisations, told Zaman al-Wasl that forces of the Lebanese army and intelligence of about 300 members had on Sunday at 4.am invaded the biggest gathering of Syrian refugees in Bar-Elias where they broke into houses, took doors off, frightened children, hit women and arrested young men. 

They hit a pregnant woman resulted in transferring her to hospital for treatment, and they had broken in a house of a woman having a bath and forced her to get out naked. 

Sheikh Daee al-Islam al-Shahal, the founder of the Salafist movement in Lebanon commented on that and called for Sunni people in Lebanon to say their words now, otherwise, they would later pay heavily for staying silent, he demanded them to stop waiting for promises.

“Sunni people in Lebanon, I am telling you for the 20th time that a conspiracy is being implemented to eradicate you whenever it is possible, therefore, you need to be alerted, as no army is there to protect you if you did not support the Syrian refugees and their camps, you must know that God does not compliment anyone, I demand you to uprise as one man”. He added.

Sheikh Shahal insisted that Sunni in Lebanon must change themselves, and lead the uprising to fulfil rights, justice and religion. He warned them from believing the lie that the Army protects all people, because Lebanese army is divided, politicised and weak.
