Rifaat Eid Says Ahmed Ali's Confessions Obtained under Torture
[An Nahar] Arab Democratic Party Secretary-General Rifaat Eid...secretary general of the Leb Arab Democratic Party, a Pencilneck regime front organization... accused on Saturday the Internal Security Forces and the judiciary of "torturing" suspect Ahmed Ali to admit that he had smuggled a suspect with links to the twin mosque bombings in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... . During a presser he held in Tripoli, pro-Assad Eid mockingly dubbed military prosecutor Saqr Saqr as a "hero," saying he transferred Ali to the ISF Intelligence Bureau after he was tortured during investigation. But Eid said Ali, who is his father's driver, was not assaulted by the Intelligence Branch, which only used "psychological" torture against him by showing him torture equipment. The bureau forced him to sign a document that he had smuggled Ahmed Merhi, who is the suspected driver of the explosive-laden vehicle that blew up near al-Taqwa mosque, to Syria, Eid claimed. The twin boom-mobileings that targeted the Sunni al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23 have left hundreds of casualties. First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida issued on Thursday a subpoena against the head of the Arab Democratic Party, Ali Eid, who is from Syrian  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Light of the Alawites... 's Alawite sect. He has been charged along with his driver Ali with helping Merhi escape justice. Abou Ghida also issued arrest warrants against Ali and Chehade Shdoud, who was jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! on Tuesday at the Abboudieh border-crossing for smuggling Sukeina Ismail to Syria. Ismail is charged with transporting the two cars that were used in the bombings from Syria to Leb. "Ali Eid will never go to the ISF Intelligence for questioning," his son, Rifaat said at the presser he held on Saturday. Eid urged caretaker Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi to unveil the circumstances of the "fabrications" against his party. "We will act only in accordance to the law," he said although he made a veiled threat that killing ISF members was permissible. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-10 |
