Forces' Request to Their Supporters in the Streets

The "Lebanese Forces" party stated in a statement that "the information leaked so far about the motives of the crime does not seem consistent with the reality of the situation. We consider the martyrdom of our comrade Pascale Sleiman as a murder that was conducted deliberately, with intent, and with prior planning. We deem it, until proven otherwise, a political assassination." They requested all citizens, comrades, and friends who gathered in the squares and streets in an attempt to pressure the abducting parties to cease their crime. They urged everyone to leave the squares and open the roads, especially since Wednesday is the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
