The Permanent Military Court chaired by Brigadier General Munir Shehadeh handed down a sentence imposing a three-year prison sentence with forced labor against activist Kinda Al-Khatib, stripping her of her civil rights after being convicted of the crime of communicating with Israeli agents and enter the enemy’s country and try to provide them with security information. The ruling also imposed a 10-year term of forced labor in absentia against the undercover Lebanese Charbel Hajj, stripping him of his civil rights and executing the arrest warrant issued against him.
Al-Khatib appeared today before the Permanent Military Tribunal headed by Shehadeh, who questioned her in the presence of his lawyer, Jocelyn Al-Raei, about the accusation made against him, which is “dealing with spies and agents of Israel, and entering the enemy’s country. ”
Al-Khatib explained in her testimony: “All I did was that a journalist who worked for Israeli Channel 11 contacted her through Twitter, named Roy Qaisi, and she did not know his identity, and when she found out he was Israeli, informed the security forces of the matter. ”
Regarding the reason why he did not place a block on this person when he learned that he is an “Israeli”, he considered that his phone was under security surveillance, and there is nothing suspicious about it, especially since all his accounts were open. He absolutely denied entering Israel, meeting any Israelis, or providing him with security information.
At the end of the interrogation, the deputy government commissioner in the military court, Judge Claude Ghanem, presented a review in which he repeated the articles of the indictment and requested that al-Khatib be guilty of what was attributed to him.
And he concluded by requesting that she be declared innocent of all the charges against her.
