Violence against women in Saida, Jwayya and Akkar

In the latest incidents of violence against women in Lebanon, a patrol from the South Detachment Unit arrested yesterday a Palestinian national, Y.S (23 years) in Saida’s neighborhood of Sirob for sexually harassing and attempting to kidnap a minor girl. The suspect was referred to Saida police station to take appropriate legal action against him. Meanwhile, the body of a young man A.A (33 years) shot in the head was discovered in Mashta Hassan, Wadi Khaled in Akkar. After investigation by the security forces who arrived immediately on the scene, it was known that two men from the village of Mashta Hassan opened fire on the young man on the background of an honor crime. The victim reportedly raped the sister of one of the shooters which prompted the latter to gun him down. On the other hand, on January 8, one woman reported to the gendarmerie unit in Jwayya claiming that her 15-year old daughter has left the house to an unknown place leaving a message in which she threatened to kill herself. After intensified surveillance and investigation by the South Detachment Unit, the minor was tracked down in a southern village, but was in poor health condition and was transferred to a hospital for treatment.
