Elias Bejjani/Text and Video: Dr. Charles Chartouni, who was forced to leave Lebanon due to a politicized judiciary, is the voice of every free and sovereign Lebanese rejecting Hezbollah’s occupation Elias Bejjani – October 24, 2024
Our beloved Lebanon is currently an occupied country, its free citizens are oppressed, its people are crushed and subdued, its state is failed and rogue, and its rulers, along with the political, parties, and religious establishments, are mere tools in the hands of the Iranian occupier and its terrorist jihadist proxy, Hezbollah. As for the judiciary in Lebanon, it has been transformed under the occupation into a mere too run by Hezbollah, executing its orders and prosecuting free and sovereign Lebanese citizens with fabricated charges and cases dictated to it, far removed from any legality or constitutionality.
This judiciary, controlled by Hezbollah’s oppressive, criminal, and Iranian Mullahs’ regime, has been forcibly silenced through intimidation and terror. It has turned a blind eye to hundreds of crimes, including displacement, assassinations, oppression, smuggling, money laundering, and property confiscation, with the Beirut Port explosion being one of the most egregious crimes.
Because of this politicized, hollow judiciary, stripped of all notions of justice, law, treaties, and rights, and because its officials, due to their submission and allegiance to the occupier, lack even a basic understanding of their constitutional duties, and due to this paralyzed judicial body, Dr. Charles Chartouni was forced to leave Lebanon today. Lebanon is his beloved homeland, to which he dedicated his life, knowledge, and talents, serving it, defending it, and fighting for its people, sovereignty, independence, and freedoms at home and abroad across all fields.
The charges fabricated by the politicized judiciary against Dr. Chartouni under the occupier’s directives are, in reality, medals of honor on his chest and a source of pride for every free Lebanese citizen. These accusations stem from his fierce and relentless defense of sovereignty, independence, the constitution, freedoms, and dignity. He bore witness to the truth loudly, like John the Baptist, without fear or compromise. He exposed the lies, heresies, distortions, and violations of the Iranian occupier embodied by Hezbollah, challenged its terrorism, and called things by their true names.
Dr. Chartouni, a brave and heroic figure, represents all free Lebanese citizen, regardless of their sect or affiliation, whether residing in Lebanon or in the Diaspora. He rejects injustice, occupation, dependency, submission, and bowing down, and stands steadfastly for the truth and justice.
We stand with Dr. Chartouni, with his struggle for peace, justice, freedoms, the rule of law, independence, and liberation. We stand with his determination, his bold voice against the occupation, and his unwavering faith in Lebanon. With all the components of hope and resilience, we loudly say no—a thousand times no—to intellectual oppression, to the occupation, to its symbols, and to its tools.
A thousand heartfelt salutes to Dr. Chartouni, the honorable, brave, and steadfast fighter.
