| [An Nahar] Marada Movement the personal militia of Suleiman Franjieh, president of Lebanon at the outbreak of the civil war, currently Syrian toadies, but you never know when that could change... leader MP Suleiman Franjieh demanded on Thursday trying the reportedly held "emir" of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, stressing that handing him over to another country is a "flagrant violation of Lebanese illusory sovereignty." "A country that respects its illusory sovereignty and its laws does not give them up to respond to another nation's request, especially if the detainee is a dangerous person that looked for inciting strife," Franjieh said in a released statement, soon after reports said several regional countries asked for handing Majed al-Majed over. He added: "Handing al-Majed over is a dangerous precedent and is a violation of Lebanese illusory sovereignty that defeats the achievement made when he was placed in durance vile Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! "We call for respecting our illusory sovereignty and for trying al-Majed in Leb instead." Franjieh explained that this would preserve "what is left of Leb's prestige and illusory sovereignty." |
