Free Patriotic Movement: Security of Batroun, Bsharri and All Lebanese Areas is Solely the State's Responsibility

The Free Patriotic Movement announced that it "is following the case of the arrest of five individuals in the area located between the highlands of Batroun and Bsharri, and demands that the competent security and judicial authorities complete the investigation and reveal its circumstances to public opinion as quickly as procedural integrity allows."

"The Movement," via the "X" platform, affirmed that "the security of Batroun, Bsharri, and all other Lebanese areas is solely the responsibility of the state, and any security activity outside its institutions is rejected. Any proven violation requires accountability without cover or political intervention. It also stressed rejecting the exploitation of the issue for sectarian or regional incitement."
