The Amnesty law was issued. The rifa’ are supposed to be cleared and allowed to go back to Lebanon. In reality, this is not the case. Many of the rifa’ are not cleared and if they return, they will be dragged to the Ministry of Defense. 

MP Adwan and all LF responsible said that the Amnesty law covers all LF members and not only Dr. Geagea. True many were cleared as we were told. 

Why then some rifa’ are not cleared? Who is holding their files? Who is working on clearing their names? They also have the right to return and see their families. 

They say an LF group including lawyers is taking care of the issue. When several rifa’ checked with the lawyers, the answer was “we did our job and the files are in hakim’s hands.”  

Hakim, the rifa’ outside want to go back home. Can you please move their files forward? Even if you do not like the political decisions many took while you are in prison, but after all there is a cause and years of struggle you shared together. Remember, you were away for 11 years from your parents. They are still away. They are still outside because they believed in you and the cause you carried. The minimum you can do for them is bring them back home.

    They were busy working on Abou El Aynein case. He is more important to the future votes of the Palestinians who will become Lebanese. They need their votes. You have to please the Strategic alliance and who cares about few LFers who can’t go home. Same for the Christians of South Lebanon, the LF supposed to be the voice of the Christians and defend Christians cause is no where to be seen. It left the field to General Aoun.

    in the case of the Leabnese from the south, the LF can not do anything about it. it’s not us that have the connection with hizbulla. since our goverment is absent in this issue we as LF can’t do anything… u got to get the approval of hizbulla wether u like it or u don’t so askin SG to do something about this issue is pointless. what SG and the LF could be working on is the issue of “el mhajarin mn el jabal” since we have good relations now with WJ.

    The mhajrin should be on of LF’s priorities, but it is not .
    And the people meant in this article, I guess, are people arround the world not only in Israel, LF members outside Lebanon… Need names ?

    for all who wonder why old LF comrades dont come back, it is not a lack of work, but ya chabeib, eza ejo la honeh, they will be directly in prison, they are on the black list, and jiheiz amn l matar la m3allim la77oud!
    so no return now.. at least not as long as la77oud is sitting on his chair

    offcourse they have their right to come back to their country !and this case the Lf should really take it into consideration ! but dont forget that LF have alot of troubles on their shoulders!

    Time to ask why LF has THAT much on their shoulders.

    It always had a lot, but it was never heavy, why is it heavy now? Maybe people carrying it cannot ?
