-- Former PM Saad Hariri: The decision against banks that was announced today is a "coup" against the economic system and a step that takes Lebanon back to the time of totalitarian regimes.

Of course he will say so, he owns a bank.
-- Judge Ghassan Oweidat has met with a delegation from the Association of Banks to seek clarification on issues related to the Financial Prosecutor’s decision in preparation for suspending the decision to freeze bank assets; no statement will be made tonight.

Judge Ghassan is loyal to Hariri.
-- Lebanese Association of Banks: Normal working day tomorrow in banks.
-- Court of Cassation Attorney General Ghassan Oweidat will order to freeze the decision taken by Financial Prosecutor Ali Ibrahim after receiving reports from international bodies about the decision's impact on Lebanese banking sector and image of Lebanon abroad.

And the banks and corruption in Lebanon win again.

-- It's officially frozen. The judge of corruption has done it.
According to several lawyers what Ghasan did is illegal because:
1- The prosecutor's ruling was judicial and not administrative as Ghasan named it.
2- There isn't anything in law called freezing, so the when Ghasan said I'm freezing Ibrahim's ( Prosecutor) order this doesn't mean anything.
3- The official judicial administrative time ended at 4 pm and Ghasan issued it late at night and not under the noscript of "Urgent".
-- What Lebanese Dima? The ones who can't get their money from the banks because the banks misplaced them by bad investments? Or the Lebenese who lost all their saving after the banks and the central bank contributed in the inflation of the exchange rates leading to 18% devaluation of the lira?
-- Protests in Hamra now.
-- Protests in Zalka.

Note: This particular image is 2 hours old.
-- Protesters' tent in Sawfar was burnt just now.
-- Lebanese newspapers' headline today is pro banks and anti the prosecutor's order. Sadly this happens when newspapers are owned by politicians and still print out copies only because they are bankrolled by political parties.
