Report: Fadel Shaker Wants Security Agencies' Assistance to Run to Qatar
Singer turned salafist Fadel Shaker, an affiliate of detained extremist cleric Ahmed al-Asir, has requested the security apparatuses to facilitate his travel to Qatar, As Safir daily reported on Monday.
“Repentant singer and fugitive Fadel Shaker has asked the security agencies (in Lebanon) to facilitate his travel to Qatar,” reported the daily.
Pop star turned fugitive, Shaker, was sentenced in February to five years in prison on charges of sectarian incitement.
He was also charged with “harming Lebanon's ties with a fraternal Arab country” during an interview he conducted in the past few years.
He was stripped of his civil rights and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
In May 2015, he was sentenced to four-and-half years in jail, but in June the Cassation Court nullified the verdict and ordered a retrial. He was released on bail in January.
Around four years ago, he became affiliated with extremist Salafist movements linked to cleric Ahmed al-Asir, whose supporters waged deadly clashes with the army in the Abra area of the southern city of Sidon in 2013.
Asir was arrested last year.

the commander of the army seems to disagree with you, Southern:
“Qahwaji reiterated eagerness to keep the best relations with the Arab Gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar, which are hosting thousands of Lebanese as he reminded of their offering to Lebanon during its time of crises,” visitors to Qahwaji quoted him as saying.

"......hosting thousands of Lebanese ": really naive, as if gulf's states are doing favour for those who are working there!? no, they are running their bussiness otherwise they will die in their desert... i don't mean only the Lebanese but Egyptians Palestinians among others.

As Safil daily reported on Monday..... lol.
As Safil newspaper is as credible as when mowaten of iran says he is Lebanese, secular, and has only one account.
He was also charged with “harming Lebanon's ties with a fraternal Arab country” during an interview he conducted in the past few years.
But Nassrallah promotes fraternal relations with Arab countries specially KSA and that is why he is free and not in jail. The Lebanese Justice System always sets an example in transparency and consistency.
