In the Name of Allah the most Gracious the Most Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings of Allah upon the noblest of the Prophets and Messengers

We are gathering today in this uniting House, in order to express our absolute regret, spite and rejection for what happened to the fighter Chebli El Aissami in broad daylight due to a kidnapping incident that made him disappear from his family, his beloved and his parents since months. We declare our solidarity and compassion with his honorable family and with you, sharing the pain they feel in their hearts and the worries that rage their thoughts about his destiny and his life, and we appreciate the magnanimity and solidarity of all those who participated in this gathering.

We find ourselves in a position of respect for one of our sons, especially for the laudable qualities he is known for, as well as his sincerity in the social entity, regardless from his intellectual choice. In fact, human is the unique value in society, it radiates by freedom and rises by truth.

It is painful for us, and we even declare our absolute and firm rejection for the kidnapping incident in the region of the Jabal (Aley in particular), under the protection of the Unitarians who were known by their protection for visitors as well as the defense of dignities and noble honorable Arab values.

We ask the Lebanese government firmly and insistently, with its concerned direction, its security forces and institutions, to intensify the attempts and the efforts required to reveal the circumstances of this case, or at least to catch some strings leading to the clarification of this refused and condemned affair. We also call and ask to expand these efforts and increase the required attempts in order to reveal the truth.

In addition, I address with strong hope and expectation to all peace seekers and to the authorized and well-off people, to help us in the search for the truth of this painful incident, and thus, to point on what might help to reveal the destiny of this man who unites us today with the worries about his destiny, asking God his Almighty to get him back to his parents and family, he who is the hearer, the near answering our calls.
