Geagea in 'Excellent
Shape'
February 6, 2004
Lebanon's State Prosecutor
Adnan Addoum says LF commander
Samir Geagea is in "perfect
physical shape" in
prison at the Defense
Ministry compound in Yarze,
An Nahar reported on Friday.
Addoum spoke after agreeing
to a request by the archbishop
of the Maronite community
in Australia, Aad Abi
Karam, to visit Geagea
in prison. "He undergoes
regular physical checkups.
He is in excellent shape
and I have met all his
requests in this sphere,"
Addoum said of Geagea,
who is serving combined
jail terms totaling 120
years. Addoum revealed
that Geagea asked about
two months ago for scanner
tests and they were performed
on him at the military
hospital. "The outcome
of that checkup was very
good." Geagea then
demanded that the same
tests be conducted on
him at Sacre Cœur
hospital, which was done
and the outcome was identical
to that of the military
hospital, Addoum said.
Geagea maintains constant
contact with his lawyers,
relatives and wife "who
visit him at least four
times a week," Addoum
said in his first public
statement about Geagea's
improved prison conditions.
