BEIRUT, Mar 21 (NNN-NNA) – Hezbollah leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said, the resistance has nothing to do with the decision issued by the military court in Lebanon, to acquit Amer Fakhoury, former head of an Israeli-linked prison.
Nasrallah made the remarks in a broadcast on al-Manar local TV channel.
Lebanon’s Military Tribunal issued a decision, to drop charges against Amer Fakhoury, who has been accused of collaborating with Israel, in torturing prisoners in Khiam, in southern Lebanon.
Fakhoury has been imprisoned in Lebanon since Sept, 2019.
Later in the day, Lebanon’s State Prosecutor, Ghassan Oueidat, asked the state commissioner to submit an appeal against the Military Tribunal’s decision to release Fakhoury.
However, a U.S. Marine Osprey was seen landing at the U.S. embassy in Lebanon and flew Fakhoury out of the country to the United States.
Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nassif Hitti, summoned U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, over Fakhoury’s release.
