On 21 October 1990, Dany Chamoun was assassinated brutally along with his wife Ingrid and his two sons Julian & Tarek.
Only the youngest child Tamara was saved by the maid who hid with her in a closet until the killers left.

Syrians had invaded the Baabda palace a week earlier and kicked Michel Aoun out and were in full control of the region. Later on, Syrians along with their allies tried to accuse Dr.Samir Geagea of this murder in an attempt to jail him and ban the Lebanese Forces party. After long and endless court sessions ( all documented in a 900 pages book that can be found in most libraries), no clue was found against Dr.Geagea, yet he was jailed for mainly political purposes and false accusations.

Dory Chamoun, the brother of Martyr Dany, clearly stated on many occasions that Dr.Geagea is in no way responsible for his brother’s death and asked for a fair retrial.

A mass is organized every year to commemorate the assassination of Dany & his family..

May they rest in peace.
