Urgent: The commanding judges and members of the corruption militia in the state of terrorism are committing crimes against the depositor, Dr. Pascal Rassi, who is unjustly and arbitrarily detained for the crime of exposing corruption and speaking only the truth and the truth. His wife, Valerie Foullet, calls for a sit-in in solidarity with him on Thursday morning in front of the Beirut Palace of Justice

Even the law of the jungle no longer applies in the “Lebanese Jungle of Corruption,” as the criminality of the corrupt authority has reached an unbearable and indescribable extent!

The depositor, Doctor Pascal Rassi of dual nationality, French and Lebanese (which he officially filed for abandoning two weeks ago) and on complete Hunger Strike who is unjustly and arbitrarily detained by the advocates of corruption for the crime of exposing corruption and speaking only the truth, is completely stripped of the rights of litigation and defence. Today, June 12, is the fifth day since his freedom was arbitrarily and tyrannically detained, and despite the fact that his lawyers were listed in the report of the “preliminary investigations,” he was taken in secret to the Beirut Justice Department, without informing his lawyers at all, to appear yesterday morning before the First Investigating Judge of Beirut, Bilal Halawi. This followed the Public Prosecution of Appeal in Beirut charging him with the crime of “contempt of the judiciary.” All this without any notification to his wife or his lawyers, that the judge neglected -- his lawyers who then submitted a request to release him yesterday afternoon -- written in the hearing minutes, and the session was postponed to “appoint a lawyer” until June 13, 2024!

Rassi’s wife, Valerie Foullet, was shocked when she visited him for the first time yesterday, after being denied a visit since his arrest, accompanied by depositors and lawyers, at his place of detention by the “Sham Road Platoon,” due to what she discovered of “lies, misleading and deception” about his health condition and the state of his hunger strike, since, completely contrary to what she and his lawyers were informed, his health condition was deteriorating. Because of his “complete hunger strike for food, water and medicine” since his arrest last Saturday night; except for his high spirits and spirit!

Foullet and her husband, who insisted to apply to renounce his Lebanese nationality two weeks ago, hold French nationalities; she immediately after the visit went to the “French Consulate” complaining in astonishment!

Is this what “Lebanon, the nation of the human” has become? Are we still “Lebanese” as the world used to know us, as we claim? Rassi said it during his arrest, “What did you do to my country?”

Yes, he is the “biggest criminal” and “the biggest corrupt person,” and the Lebanese judiciary, which follows the orders of the heads of the corruption militia that has permeated the state and is clamping down on the necks of depositors and the Lebanese on behalf of the monsters of money and banks. Not a single financial criminal or thief has been arrested yet!!

Depositors; Lebanese; How do you accept all this?! What a humiliating life do you live and accept? How do you accept that someone who stole your life savings and the future of your children and continued to humiliate you? Who then oppressed and harmed a depositor with a right to remain free while the depositor is oppressed and imprisoned, and everyone who was not affected by the “abject blackout” or “abject silence,” and all are watching?!

Pascal Rassi is a decent, peaceful and essentially sensitive citizen who struggles despite his chronic illness with Fibromayalgia. He did not spare any formal door without knocking on it, and the last of that was the door of the “Judicial Inspection Authority,” which was also blocked in his face after all the other doors were blocked.

Valerie Foullet calls on every depositor and Lebanese with a living conscience to support them in a solidarity sit-in in front of the “Palace of Justice” in Beirut this Thursday morning, starting at 10 am.
