Dear ISF,
Your tweet today was a perfect example on how much the institution of the internal security forces hides corruption.
Just to let you know, you cannot arrest two people without their identification papers under the charge of Homosexuality.
What kind of sexual life adult people are leading is not your responsibility? Go find true criminals instead of arresting homosexuals! How is it possible to let this kind of "institutions" rule us?
shame on you!

Do you know what makes Lebanon so special? It is this beautiful mixture of cultures.
Why some people are trying hard to change the identity of this country?
Respecting others is a golden rule! Everyone is free to fast or not and everyone is free to eat in public or not!

Should we conclude that it is very acceptable to shout and insult others if the audience was 100% male?
Mr. Hakim, with all my respect, but insulting the other club should not only be rejected to avoid penalties or to protect women and children. The true spirit of any sport game is to know how to welcome winning and losing with the same amount of respect.

On May 31, The Daily Star reported: “A husband who had been abusing his wife for over a year was detained Friday, the first time the law against family violence was enforced.
Public Prosecutor Bilal Dennawi ordered the detention of a man, whose identity remains unknown, for 48 hours after an investigation showed that he had been abusing his wife. The order for the arrest was issued in line with the recently passed controversial law to protect women against domestic violence.

Every
year, a lot of serious issues are raised regarding the Lebanese University.
Most of them – if not all – are related to political interferences. In fact, it
has been like forever since politicians took the prerogatives of the university
board. Since then, no nomination has been possible without politicians meddling
in. The failure of the government to upgrade 574 contract professors into
permanent ones has urged the head of the university, Dr Adnan Sayyed Hussein,
to call for a strike in an attempt to regain the academic prerogatives and
protect the Lebanese University against any political interference. The problem regarding the
appointment of full professors proves that there is a clash of interests
between politics and academics. Posted on Friday, May 30, 2014 by ChiTikTik

Lebanese director and actor Lucien Bou Rjeily was denied his right as a Lebanese citizen to get his passport. According to Bou Rjeily (repost from Stop Cultural Terrorism page on FB): “The Lebanese General Security today (May 21, 2014) confiscated my passport and refused to renew it, which means I’m no longer allowed to leave Lebanon to perform in the festival: the reason? - They categorically refused to give me a reason... I pleaded for an answer but they kept refusing to give the reason... they said that we will revert back to you in the coming month or month and a half and they hinted "you should know why... something that happened in 2013".

How nice it would be to live without being concerned about the power outages or the diesel generators bill!
The solution is simple "Renewable Energy", I am very proud to see the work done by some of our engineers in this domain and I wish one day this will be spread all over Lebanon.

Lebanon made it to the 6th position in the “ 9 places you absolutely, positively must see before you die "
The ranking was suggested by the Huffington Post’s Facebook fans to celebrate the 9th birthday of the newspaper. The article features a picture of the Saint Paul cathedral in Harissa. According to one of the fans, Susan Latuga, "this is where my grandparents were born. My parents never had a chance to go before they passed away so it is my dream to walk where my roots are”.

Discovering that the Lebanese minimum wage is very low didn't surprise me, but when I thought that a Lebanese deputy who doesn't even bother to do his job get a salary of 8000$, I cursed this whole system and I didn't understand why we aren't rebelling yet .
I am a bit curious, so I did some research that I want to share with you:

Yesterday, my friend (who lives abroad) asked me "Rihab, How much a beer costs you in an average bar in Beirut?" I didn't understand what he was aiming for until he showed me this article.
In Lebanon, the minimum wage is 675000 LL and the average price of beer in a bar is around 12000 LL this gives us 56 beers.
Comparing this number to the purchasing power of some European countries like Germany (521), Spain (388), France (248) etc...We see the huge difference!!
Change is needed urgently.

Lebanon is one of the worst countries in the world in terms of treating migrant domestic workers (MDW), often coming from developing countries such as Congo, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Philippines… Racism against these workers has no limit: they could work 80 hours a week, without any rest days and with a disastrous wage surely below minimum wage. Let's not mention the ones that have been killed, raped or tortured.
On the first of may, I was astonished by a marvelous initiative realized by the NGO INSAN (meaning human in Arabic) that consists of organizing a modeling session in the Yukunkun Club in Gemmayzé. This event restored my faith in humanity, it surely gave MDWs some piece of confidence in a world full of racism and rancor. A Big salute for INSAN’s NGO.
