Geagea's Plight
Debated with Britain,
Amnesty International
July 2, 2003
The Lebanese Forces said
Wednesday it had given
Britain's Foreign Office
a dossier of jailed LF
commander Samir Geagea
on the ninth year of his
solitary confinement in
Lebanon's Defense Ministry
at Yarze. In a statement
carried by An Nahar, LF
information bureau said
the file was presented
during a visit to the
Lebanon and Syria desk
at the Foreign Office's
Near East and North Africa
Department in London last
week.
The dossier, the statement
said, contained the details
of Geagea's imprisonment
since his arrest in 1994,
when the Beirut government
outlawed the LF, the Christians'
major civil war militia
that turned into a political
party in 1990. The LF
also said it had brought
Geagea's plight to the
attention of Amnesty International
at its London headquarters
and discussed with the
organization's officials
the "conditions of
human rights and freedoms
in Lebanon."
