Hezbollah has condemned a Lebanese military court decision to release Amer al-Fakhoury, a former South Lebanese Army member suspected of cooperating with Israel, according to the Israel Public Broadcasting Corporation.
Citing the state-run National News Agency, Al-Arabiya reported charges of kidnapping, imprisoning and torturing Lebanese people at Khiam Prison were dropped because the statute of limitations had expired. Hezbollah said, "It's a sad day for Lebanon and for justice. It's a wrong decision. American efforts to release him have borne fruit."
