Former Information Minister Michel Samaha
Beirut - Arab Today
Lebanon's Military Tribunal on Friday sentenced former Information Minister Michel Samaha to 13 years in prison with hard labor , in the final verdict of his terror retrial.
In a decision handed down by the Military Court of Cassation, headed by Judge Toni Lattouf, Samaha has also been stripped of his civil rights, meaning he can no longer vote or hold public office, as is normally the case with Samaha, originally sentenced last year to four and a half years in prison for plotting bomb attacks in the country, has already served about one-third of his new sentence.
The remainder of the sentence will be served in Rihanieh military prison in Baabda, east of Beirut.
