1:04:07Now PlayingLebanon's Military Intelligence Detains And Interrogates Laith Marouf
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Sunday, July 20, Free Palestine TV's Executive Director, Laith Marouf, attempted to enter south Lebanon for the purpose of covering recent Israeli attacks on a Lebanese border village.
Laith was accompanied by Lebanese journalist Hadi Hoteit, the Producer of Free Palestine TV (FPTV).
At a Lebanese Army checkpoint situated on the outskirts of the village, Lebanese soldiers took Laith Marouf into custody, claiming that Laith needed to rectify a deficiency in his travel documentation.
That was more than 48 hours ago. Since then, no one has been able to contact Laith. Moreover, Laith has not been granted access to a lawyer.
Hadi Hoteit has since learned from knowledgeable sources that Laith has been transferred to the headquarters of Lebanon's Military Intelligence, and that he is undergoing interrogation there. Under Lebanese law, Lebanon's Military Intelligence is not required to grant detainees access to a lawyer.
Today, Dimitri Lascaris spoke with Hadi Hoteit about the possible reasons for Laith's detention.
FPTV has been highly critical of the Lebanese Army for failing to protect Lebanon from Israel's near-daily attacks, all of which constitute violations of the ceasefire agreement concluded between Israel and Lebanon in 2024.
In addition, FPTV has criticized the Lebanese government, headed by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, for being too deferential to the U.S. and Israeli governments.
Is Laith being persecuted for his critical coverage of the Lebanese Army and Government?
