Lebanese Lawyers & Their Scandalous Law Codes

Lebanon courts are renowned for their international standards at the same time they are notorious for their violation of penal codes. According to Lebanon courts an accused is treated as innocent until his guilt is proved abruptly. Military courts are supposed to impeach only militaries in Lebanon but they impeach civilians too thereby teaming up with enemies. All these are familiar with more than hundreds of cases in Lebanon courts. Lebanese lawyers are depriving themselves for indulging in wrong collaboration and the military courts in Lebanon are known for their shameful activities of being indulged in biasing sentences to the accused.

According to the Lebanese law, a person is treated to be accused only if he confesses that he is aware of the person’s identity. They are not charged for dealing with Mossads for spying over telephone conversation, but claimed to be charged only if the accused person accepts that he is familiar with the Mossad. What a despicable law! Really the lawyers in Lebanese are fixing extraordinary crimes and projecting themselves to be out rated.

According to the Article 278, the penal code prohibits indulgence with Israelians. This penal code instructs that unless a person is aware of the identity of the so-called enemy, he is not liable to be punished. Anybody can offer the basic amenities to a spy or enemy or wrong agents but they shouldn’t be aware of the person’s identity. If a person is caught as an accused and if he confesses that he is familiar with the spy’s identity then he shall be sentenced to fine or jail. The punishment ranges from minimal fine amount to imprisonment of 15 years depending on the severity of the appraisal of lawyers in Lebanon. The tough punishments are reticent for military men and the Article 278 also has intervention of political authorities.

Lebanon is now branded for its prosecution of the telecom engineer Tarek Rabaa. More than 7 international organizations are stipulating the Lebanon government for the release of Tarek Rabaa and to attend his case. But the Lebanon government under Najib Mikati is ignoring all the concerns and is neglecting all demands. This is one of the important examples of the scandalous government in Lebanon. Tarek Rabaa is held up in jail for the past 19 months for the so-called crime of travelling to a European country and attending a call from a taxi company of France. Nada Rabaa, the lawyer of Tarek is trying hard to speak for this victim inspite of the tortures given by the military court. The court is avoiding taking up the case of the victim inspite of filing of documents in favour of Tarek. The main reason of Tarek’s case to be ignored is that Tarek was forced to confess that he is aware of Mossad and he has contacted Mossad as a spy for the condemnation of Lebanon court in the assassination of Rafic Al Hariri. Tarek Rabaa’s case is claimed as a case study by the researchers for the disgraceful activity of judiciaries in Lebanon. This case is considered to be the most appalling case in the Middle East. Rafic Al Hariri was the prime minister of Lebanon who was assassinated on February 14, 2005 in the course of Syrian reign. After the assassination of Rafic Al Hariri, the so-called Hizbullah claimed that he had secret meetings with Hariri. This wrong confessment has put Lebanon in pressure and has caught Tarek as a victim for the wrong confessment.

All these partiality towards innocent victims has made the world to pity on the people of Lebanon. They should understand their indecent proposals and free the ignorant victims
