| Saqr Rejects Lifting Legal Warrant against Ali Eid, Freeing Ahmed Ali |
| 2013-11-14 |
| [An Nahar] State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr rebutted on Wednesday pleas submitted by Arab Democratic Party leader's attorney, citing their "illegality" as a reason. "Saqr examined a report of defenses submitted by Ali Eid and (tossed in the clink I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! suspect) Ahmed Ali's lawyer Huyam Eid and rebutted them for failing to conform to legal conditions," the state-run National News Agency said. The NNA added that a request to free Ali and another to lift the investigation and search warrant issued against former MP Eid were also rejected. Saqr referred the documents to First Military Investigation Judge Riyad Abu Ghida to take the necessary decision in this matter. On Tuesday Eid evaded a summons to undergo questioning by a military tribunal judge over his alleged aid to a suspect in the mosque bombings of the northern city of Tripoli. ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... Eid's attorney handed Abu Ghida a report claiming that the suspect cannot attend the questioning session for medical reasons. Lawyer Eid submitted the alibi to Abu Ghida, who referred it to the military prosecutor, Judge Saqr, for the appropriate response. Abu Ghida had issued on Thursday a subpoena against Eid and his drives Ali, on charges of helping Ahmed Merhi escape justice by smuggling him to Syria. Merhi is the suspected driver of the explosive-laden vehicle that blew up near al-Taqwa mosque. Huyam Eid called on Tuesday for Ali's release and said the military tribunal should withdraw the arrest warrant issued against the Arab Democratic Party leader. The twin boom-mobileings that targeted the Sunni al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques on August 23 have left hundreds of casualties. |
