Like many Lebanese, he was frustrated with the continued presence of Hezbollah, an unrepentant terrorist organization and a proxy of Iran, in Lebanon’s government and its continued efforts to prevent peace and democracy in that country. He was murdered for speaking out and expressing his views publicly, a basic human right that must be respected and safeguarded in Lebanon and everywhere.
