Lebanon's Publications' Court: Jail for Fares Khashan & Johnny Abdo in President Emile Lahoud 'libel'...

... and LBP 50 Millions in fine slapped on the Hariri rag 'Al Mustaqbal'....This is an oddly timed, though welcomed ruling. The lawsuit itself was not brought by President Lahoud, but was brought by 'Public Rights'. Moreover, the sudden reactivation of the lawsuit AND the verdict are NOTEWORTHY! Reminder: Johnny Abdo & Fares Khashan are both either in Paris or 'incommunicado' ...
