Reported cases of violence against women in Beirut, Shweifat and Akkar

The General Directorate of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) announced in a statement yesterday that the Public Relations department received a complaint from an underage girl about so-named Tirex who is blackmailing her with posting her pics on social media if she does not give in to him. Upon surveillance and investigation, the ISF was able to arrest the suspect in the locality of St Therese, the statement said. On the same day, the ISF circulated pictures of Sara Charbel Jaber (16 years) who went missing after she left her house in Shweifat on 2/11/2018, and Rasha Khudr Aseel (22) who left her house in Jdeidet Kaita’, Akkar, on 14/11/2018 and disappeared. In a related development, Al Mustaqbal newspaper today reported that B.G could find no other way to persuade his wife to return to him but to accuse her parents of abducting her with her underage boy. He went as far as accusing her own father of sexually harassing her and filed a complaint to this effect, the newspaper said. But investigation revealed later that the husband has fabricated lies and evidence to indict the family with kidnapping their daughter and grandson. Recalling, that the wife has fled with her son to her parents’ house in Beirut because the husband used to beat her under the influence of drugs and alcohol, according to her brother.
