I keep reading every 2 or 3 days about a number of people arrested by the ISF or the Lebanese Army due to possession of weapons or driving without papers or having search warrants to their names.
The average number of arrested people is around 40-50 every time but today it peaked at 121 individuals, among whom those involved in the “small family dispute” in Ghobeiri. [Link]
What happened in Ghobeiri is another typical Lebanese dispute which happens every now and then. [Example]
While I am glad that so many were arrested, my question is how many nights do those criminals spend in prison? 2 days? 3 days?
I hope I am wrong but I feel the same people keep getting arrested and then released and then arrested again every now and then.
Do we even have places for them in the Lebanese jails?
Cosmetic. Just to show people Lebanon is a secure place lol. I’m almost certain most were released in hours.
It’s a new Catch a Release program, keeps the Police on their toes, the Jails turning over, and everyone in the criminal judicial system happy…
Apparently the police department doesn’t have anything better to do with our funds
