Mawlawi Slams 'Provocative' Bahraini Opposition Rally in Ghobeiry
Interior Minister Bassam al-Mawlawi asked Tuesday "how can provocative seminars and conferences achieve Lebanon's interest?"
"We are Arabs and we will remain Arabs," Mawlawi said, stressing that sisterly countries are helping Lebanon, while "some" inside the country are letting it become "a stage for incitement."
A pro-Bahraini opposition organization had held yesterday a meeting at the Risalat Theater in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Former Hizbullah's minister Mahmoud Qmati delivered a speech at the event.
Mawlawi had banned last week two pro-Bahraini opposition rallies that had been scheduled to be held on February 11 and 14 at al-Saha Hotel near Beirut airport.
He had addressed two memos to the Directorate General of the Internal Security Forces and the Directorate General of General Security, asking them to immediately inform the hotel’s administration not to host the events for their failing to obtain legal permissions.

Hezbollah proved once again that it is above the Law and can do what it sees fit to serve its Iranian masters.
This so-called interior minister should immediately resign since his orders were not followed.
Question: Can anyone in Lebanon host a conference for Iranian opposition?

Slams Provocative Gathering, yet you allowed it to happen.
Anyway the blame should not be totally yours, this once and for all, for everyone to see the Hizbos run the former Republic of Lebanon.

Ah, Mawlawi's a Lebanese-regime-supporting Sunni, who'd rather be disenfrachised and have Christians take care of him (per Article 24's set-aside of half of the parliament) than be a citizen. Well, you have to admire that he's certainly shameless. "Sisterly".
