Freedom on the cards for jailed LF leader Samir Geagea
Jailed former Christian warlord Samir Geagea will soon be free, a move that would help finalize post-civil war reconciliation, according to his wife on Sunday. "The 'doctor' will soon be released from his jail," said Strida Geagea, drawing loud applause from hundreds of worshippers and politicians after a crowded Mass in Bkirki. Last week, dozens of lawmakers - including Sunni and Druze members of the anti-Syrian opposition - presented an amendment to a post-war amnesty law to secure Samir Geagea's release. The head of the Lebanese Forces is the only civil war militia leader to have been prosecuted and jailed.Posted by: Fred 2005-04-25 |
