While hundreds of Lebanese have been sentenced to death, some executed, others languish in jail, and yet thousands living as refugees in Israel... all because the terrorist organization of Hezbollah runs the banana Islamic republic of Lebanon and has accused them of "spying" or "collaborating" with Israel.... We now have the best example of kangaroo justice in Lebanon.
Fayez Karam is a former army officer (which is a big deal in Lebanon because the military are up to their eyeballs in politics in the "democracy" of Lebanon... in fact the current Syrian-puppet President of Lebanon Michel Suleiman is a former army general)... so he gets "special" service by the Lebanese justice system.
Even better, he is a poodle of the other former army General Michel Aoun who, after fighting the Syrian occupation and Hezbollah from exile for 15 years, returned to Lebanon to change his course and become an ardent supporter of Syria's Bashar Assad and of Hezbollah. He now runs a political party called the Free (sure!) Patriotic (of course) Movement which is the terrorist Hezbollah's prime ally in the Lebanese government. So Michel Aoun pulled some string with the Hezbollah regime in Lebanon and got his poodle Fayez Karam - convicted of spying for Israel, which normally deserves the death penalty - out of jail.
This is LEBANESE CORRUPTION and WASTA at its best. While hundreds of thousands of ordinary Lebanese have been dying for 40 years because of Hezbollah's argument of fighting the "Zionist" enemy, here is Hezbollah and its ally Michel Aoun letting a convicted Israeli spy out of jail because of his political connections.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on the Lebanese judiciary.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ion Michel Aoun under whose command thousands were killed fighting for the causes he is now betraying.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on the Lebanese followers of Michel Aoun who claims to want to "reform" the Lebanese political system, when all he has done since his return is to join that system and become one of it. He has created a political farm, not a party, in which he doles out power to his nephews and sons-in-law, and in the case of Fayez Karam, Michel Aoun appears to be able to dole out the very corrupt justice system he claims to fight.

BEIRUT: A former Lebanese Army officer and politician whose party is allied with Hezbollah and who was convicted of passing information to Israel said after his release from prison Tuesday that his detention was political.
Immediately after his release around 1:15 p.m., Karam headed to Rabieh to meet Michel Aoun.
Karam's lawyer, Rashad Salameh, said the retired brigadier general was released after having completed his two-year prison term.
In September, Karam, 62, was found guilty of contacting Israeli intelligence and providing them with information on Hezbollah and its ally the FPM, of which the retired brigadier general is a member. The verdict did not find Karam guilty of spying for Israel.
Karam’s release drew swift reaction from the Future Movement. “Will the fighter, Brig. Gen. Fayez Karam, celebrate the liberation of south Lebanon on May 25, 2012?” asked Ahmad Hariri, Future Movement’s secretary general.
“Fayez Karam should become minister of labor and collaboration,” Hariri mocked on his twitter account.
Karam was the first political figure to be detained in Lebanon as part of a wide-ranging investigation launched in 2009 into Israeli spy networks.
He had headed the Lebanese Army's anti-terrorism and counter-espionage unit during the 1980s and was close to Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun, who was army commander toward the end of the 1975-1990 Civil War.
Aoun, who declared a “war of liberation” against the Syrian army in Lebanon in 1989, entered into a controversial alliance with Hezbollah in 2006, a year after his return to Lebanon from exile in France.
More than 100 people have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel since April 2009, including members of the Lebanese Army and the Internal Security Forces as well as telecom employees.
