Lebanon's Geagea calls for sit-in protesting Samaha's release

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea called for participation in the sit-in protesting the Lebanese military court's decision to release former minister Michel Samaha.

In a statement by his office, Geagea said the decision to release former Information Minister Michel Samaha on bail on Thursday was "rejected by all accounts."
"How can I accept that a Lebanese (national) conspires with a foreign side to carry out murder and bomb attacks in his country? How can I accept the release of these sorts of people?" Geagea wrote on his Twitter feed.

"What kind of message are the judges and officers sending to the people with this decision? What hope are they leaving for their (the peoples) futures and the sovereignty of their country and the freedom of their sons?” he asked.
