Our forum member Joumana Gebara was arrested today shortly after she finished posting her valuable contribution to this forum.
http://www.tayyar.org/Tayyar/News/PoliticalNews/ar-LB/128910343325396963.htm

The charges leveled against her are not legitimate charges under the Lebanese law (what is?) therefore her arrest seems to be politically motivate.
As a relatively new member, Joumana proved her self as a decent and valuable asset to this forum.

Let’s support her with our moral obligation and within our legal means and capabilities

Let’s take a moment to show some solidarity away from politics, in the hope that she will be released very soon, and that justice, for once, follows a just path.

this is what this bunch of thiefs are fighting for ???? your freedom of speach is unacceptable and will be persecuted as long as it is not targeting the one and only FPM !!!!!

let us support Joumana Gebara .

this country is sinking in corruption more and more every day !the thiefs the corrupted the criminals are labled heroes and well rewarded while honest decent people are arrested persecuted and jailed . it is disgusting .

A country is like our body, if it doesnt have enough immune system the virus will spread and take over.

Instead of bashing and accusing the people for not doing their duty why don't YOU and ME and everyone take action and do something

we have judges here on par in quality with those of moscow in the days of stalin.

nothing more nothing less.

this is not about joumana, it's about our lovely courts that scare us more than protect us.

working to get a visa is more worth it than working to remove garbage from ur house if ur house is at the center of the city's dumpster park.

But after i read in her article in Naharnet what she had to say about HA and the resistance and got a glimpse about her understanding of the whole issue, i was seriously deceived.

Here: Naharnet - National Dialogue

Joumana Gebara

Issues to be tackled by the ministers and should not be alone the burden of President Sleiman: (Agree on the 10 Commandments which are the fundamentals for a constitution) 1 - Agree on modernizing Lebanon to become the most civilized country as a pioneer of the Human Rights Charta to enable it to compete with MDC instead of being an LDC producing human resources for the world. 2 - Agree on properly allocating our resources (factors of production in all their aspects) and put the technocracy of the ministerial work as top priority. 3 - Agree on avoiding any "fiery speeches" (resisting society and such BS, "war speeches" and "treason policy speeches" so that the economy would not be affected and to provide a stable and secure atmosphere for our children and families. 4 - Agree on putting the education system as second most important issue after the economy with a higher budget including workshops/seminars/conferences to make out of our society an educated one instead of a "botox/BMW/jagal" society. I.e. insert a "world religion book" and a "common history book" and a "human rights book" in the curriculum of ALL SCHOOLS (Public and Private). This would eliminate the factor fear of the unknown, since the unknown would become known and people/children acquaint with each others culture/religion/attitude/behavior/concerns etc. 5 - Agree on removing the word "resistance" from our Lebanese dictionary. Hizbullah should meanwhile know that we love them and they do not need to kill us in order to show off, they remind me of a small boy who aggressively kicks and bites just because he lacks attention. So to Hizbullah: Remove your weapons and PROVE TO US THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO WORK FOR LEBANON THROUGH POLITICS, MINISTRIES, and MPs, through projects and not guns and blabla, and stop hiding behind empty slogans like Israel wants to kill us, or we are the deprived, or we do not have any rights in this country, we are second degree citizens. IT DOESNT WORK ANYMORE!! Tell Hizbullah that they should stop their self-victimization and become good big boys!!! Let them start acting and showing us they can be socialized and part of this country instead of isolating themselves and first step is disarm IMMEDIATELY and begin fulfilling ministerial projects. (To Mr. president: Motivate them, award them, tell them they are good boys each time they do something good, let the others talk good about them) Who knows maybe someday they will all grow mature and behave!! They owe it to the Lebanese people!. 6 - Agree on embracing all parties and all cultures and that each should respect the other and not try to dissolve it in its features/traditions/customs. Teach the Lebanese to share their highs and downs with each other by being role model leaders. 7 - Agree on renewing all laws which are stuck in the 60s!! We are in the year 2008!! Give MOTHERS their rights in giving their children the citizenship and stop screwing around with the demographic BS!! anyway all polls showed that in 2080 the Shia would be 44%, the Christians 17% and the Sunni 34% of the population, so stop your racism because by then we would have a completely different country, a modern one based on Human Rights, against corruption, with qualified people WHO RESPECT EACH OTHERS without receiving their orders from Iran or Saudi Arabia or Syria! 8 - Agree on reforming the Health Ministry because it is dreadful to know how much people are dying because they cant pay the bill, and inability to be insured. 9 - Agree on reforming the EDL and the ministry of energy to ensure good contracts for gas and fuel not like the missed opportunities of the previous ministers who cost us at the end 1 billion each year (and this year will cost us even 1.2 billion US$) 10 - Listen to people's concerns like those writing here from whom I read that some want the reform of the Law of rent which actually is really BS having one prior 1992 and one post-1992! Change it! Listen to the people, and be near to them so that they can finally begin loving, trusting and electing you. All the best on the national dialogue table, prove to us that you all can act as MATURE RESPONSIBLE MEN who can take care of a natin and its people to achieve peace and prosperity. We want to believe in you.

BTW, she's also a corresponding representative in Nahar El Shabab http://www.naharashabab.com/members3.php?F=G&f=g#

I did some of my homework

Not that it wasn't obvious from some of her posts...

Nevertheless, what a "lawless" country.

I think that’s a great idea. We need to organize and coordinate with the news media, especially OTV to expose what’s going on.
This is a test for the free press in Lebanon to show solidarity and support for the freedom of speech.
I hope this case never dies until justice is served.

Although I disagree with many of Joumana’s early political assessments, I must give here credit for standing up against those who can hurt her and they did. Her posts on this forum proved she is a woman of her own willing to question orders and challenge authorities and above all, I have no doubt in my mind she ever had a foreign agenda.
Let’s rise above personal disagreements and support our freedom of speech.
