Aoun: Granting Security Agencies Complete Telecom Data is a Crime against Constitution
Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun stated on Tuesday that telecom data is a legal need in solving crimes, criticizing however how the complete data was handed over to the security agencies.
He said after the Change and Reform bloc’s weekly meeting: “Handing over the complete data to the security agencies is a crime against the constitution.”
He declared that legal action will be taken against the judges who approved this decision.
Media reports had said that the security agencies had received the complete telecom data of Lebanon’s two mobile phone service providers.
The March 14 camp had been pressuring the government to do so for the sake of the investigations in the assassination attempts against MP Butros Harb and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea.
Aoun stated that the delivery of the complete telecom data will infringe on the privacy of the people.
“We cannot accept that our phones will be tapped as any information may later be used to blackmail us,” he warned.
“Phone tapping is illegal all over the world and no one has the right to violate the privacy of the people,” declared the FPM leader.
Asked if one party has tapped the phones of all Lebanese, the MP responded: “Who is this party? Such a feat is technically impossible.”
“Only the Telecommunications Ministry has the capabilities to do so,” he stressed.
Commenting on the EDL contract workers’ sit-in, he remarked: “The experts discuss this case.”
“I consider their dispute to be resolved,” Aoun added.
The workers had been carrying a sit-on for over three months, demanding that their salaries be paid and that they be granted full-time employment.
The escalated their action on Monday by closing all the entrances of the company’s headquarters in Mar Mikhael with metal chains while the full-time employees staged a counter-protest outside.
Earlier in July the parliament endorsed a draft law approving the permanent employment of the workers, but the matter created a rift between Speaker Nabih Berri and Aoun as 80 percent of them are Shiites.

Phone tapping and phone data are two different things moron they are not the same and will never be the same, kinda like Michel Aoun and President of the republic.

He is trying to mislead his people! What phone tapping?? Traffic data has nothing to do with phone tapping, just like Geha explained earlier.
I hope that his people are educated enough or at least curious enough to do some basic research themselves and get the facts of this issue.

He is not stupid ya allouchi, his is energizing his base. They will follow him down the abyss even if common sense came up and bit them in the chimney. He reminds me of Hitler and come to think of it. I know a few of his followers and they all admire the Nazis.

Historical facts.....you say? The only historical facts that you have posted time after time are those that cave dwellers like you and HA followers crave and worship. Move on dude....get you head out of the sand. The world has changed. You seem to enjoy being suppressed/regressed/controlled....pack it up and go back to your home/roots in Iran. Don't try to shove your crap on Lebanese...we don't care for it. We beleive in a democratic system for the people and by the people. You on the other hand beleive in controlling the mass through the Barrel of a Gun! Your not even Lebanese so take your trash elsewhere.

Claoun, that's the way it is in every civilized nation. If the Judge orders the investigation, the Security Agencies can provide the data. Plus it isn't like Hezbollah didn't already have this data in its possession...

Mr.Aoun said the release of the communication data is a " crime against the constitution " ! i suppose killing and assassinating is OK ?! . you are right that phone tapping is illegal unless a crime is attempted or committed then the authorities has the right to investigate and find the truth with all means available including the phone data . why are the phone companies are keeping data on every line if the authority can not use it ? . obviously you are hiding something or you know something and you do not want it to come out
if you are saying that you want to protect the constitution and the peoples right , well the constitution is written to protect and provide a guide line to equality prosperity and freedom which non of this exist in Lebanon at the moment , if you say peoples right well the people have the right to feel safe and secure in their own country so please Mr. Aoun spare us the bullshit we all know you have something to hide about these assassination attempts

I agree with mowaten, the senile fool is correct about Shiites being backstabbing inbreeds who want to dominate everything and only care about their own community.
Aounist Ziad Abs said it beautifully on the LBCI the other day (www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvfHTpknj9w&list=HL1343659621&feature=mh_lolz)
.« nous remarquons aujourd’hui que le Hezbollah n’est pas prêt à abandonner une parcelle de terrain à Lassa (NDLR : propriété du patriarcat maronite à Jbeil, squattée par les chiites partisans du Hezbollah), ce qui montre que la seule préoccupation du Hezbollah est de ménager les relations chiites-sunnites et les intérêts interchiites, au détriment de la lutte contre la corruption prévue par le document d’entente »... « ce sont les régions du Hezbollah qui couvent les mafias des moteurs, les réseaux de falsification, de rapts pour rançon et les impôts prélevés à certains commerces, comme on en voit en banlieue sud ».

What country in the world need a minister to sign off if a judge asks for telecom data--really, I think if the general stepped down and stopped talking, the FPMers may stand a chance. Right now, they are caught between a rock and a hard place as Aoun spews out his nonsense.
over 11 years
In all countries of the world (except the Aounish Banana republic), a judge warrant is sufficient to tap telecom data.
But again, this is Aoun. This is just like his other statement the other day, that toppling a dictator (Assad) means the end of Democracy (with a capital D).

It funnier when all the politician both M8 and M14 start talking about religion, and stall the whole country because a certain sect has 1 extra person in an institution...its absolutely idiotic...these politicians are not religious, god-fearing people..they are god-less, self absorbed, self serving nothings and yet both groups defend them....and we pride ourselves with being smart and superior to others...in reality we are 1 level higher on the evolution ladder than a microbe! It is absolutely pathetic, I really am ashamed of being a Lebanese...we have the potential to be greats, yet we settle with being nothings...It's just sad, very sad.

w as far as the EDL workers sit in: “I consider their dispute to be resolved,” Aoun added.
Just like you considered the Syrian Revolution resolved a year ago?! Ma 3am ifham 3leik shi ... ya inta ktir ghabi or you are in complete denial! mesh masmoo7 heik ... really, somebody should help him.

It is completely true unfortunately what's left of M14 supporters never read what GMA is stating, they just look at the pic and pour their insults. The telecom data is a very tricky issue and people’s privacy needs to be protected, I don’t think any M14 would like to see his SMS or his private conversation falling in the wrong hands, just imagine someone having the sms you exchange with your girlfriends…
over 11 years
this excuse doesn't fly, especially in this country. Countries that have more and less liberties than us have laws in place that use telecom lately. It just seems that a majority of M8 leaders want a weak central government so they can do whatever they want in their safe havens without fear of government interference. The ones that are likely to be guilty are the ones who fear the data.
Aoun is just along for the ride--his rants have cost him and his party legitimacy because they have little basis of truth.
