#1 Did HRW trouble themselves to find the demographics of the perpetrators? Christian, Muslim, Greek Orthodox, Animist? I wonder who they might be? /s

#2 No. Because they are like our own 'information' ministries which play 'Name That Party'. Professional courtesy of amoralists [it's about power, not about principles]

#4 Looking at the basic demographics in Lebanon, the annual death rate per 1000 is about 7. So, you would expect about 1,400 to die out of a representative group of 200,000 each year, which is roughly 27 per week....

If the HRW figures are correct, migrant domestic workers in lebanon are incredibly safe.

#6 If a Greek Orthodox does any of these things, is it any less of a crime? The important thing is that the government fails to prosecute these types of crimes.

#7 i think tipper was asking if the laborers were greek orthodox not the ones doing the killing
