Bar Association
Chairman Inspects Geagea's
Prison Conditions
April 20, 2004
Lebanese Forces commander
Samir Geagea has requested
a physical checkup by
two doctors to determine
whether his health condition
would allow him to do
certain exercises in his
prison cell at the Defense
Ministry Compound in Yarze,
An Nahar reported on Tuesday.
It said Geagea made the
request through his defense
attorneys to State Prosecutor
Adnan Addoum, who promptly
gave his approval provided
the checkup is conducted
at Geagea's personal expense.
The doctors Geagea wants
are Fayez Abil Lama, of
St. Georges Hospital,
and sports specialist
Ziad Harb. An Nahar quoted
judicial sources as saying
Geagea walks an hour a
day in a prison courtyard.
In another Geagea-related
development, the chairman
of the Beirut Bar Association
Selim Osta was given a
permit by Addoum to visit
the LF commander at 11
a.m. Wednesday. Osta said
he would inspect Geagea's
current prison conditions,
An Nahar reported.
Geagea has already served
10 years in solitary confinement
out of jail sentences
totaling 120 years.
