LF questions government about two Nepalese women unionists

Deputy Elie Kairuz (from Lebanese Forces) posed via the head of parliament president Nabih Berri, yesterday, a question to the government, and specifically to the Minister of Interior and Municipalities, Mr. Nuhad Al-Mashnuq, about the circumstances of the action of the General Security to deport the member of the syndicate of domestic workers, the Nepalese worker Sushila Rana known as Sujana Rana, and the continuing detention of the member of the syndicate and the general council and general assembly, the Nepalese worker Roja Maya Limbo known as Rosi Limbo, and denial of permission to assign defense lawyers to the aforementioned workers. Keyrouz also questioned the lack of disclosure of any information regarding those two measures, and about the charges of those two workers who are both activists and members of a trade union, despite the submitting a petition to that effect according to procedure by some human right associations and activists in the field of trade union issues, freedoms, and human rights. Keyrouz hoped that the question would prompt the government to conduct the necessary legal action to respond to the question through the concerned Minister and within the time period specified by article 124 of the bylaws of the Parliament, warning that he will be forced to transform his question into a hearing.
