Sunday, 04 July 2010 05:44Three Lebanese men arrested for slandering President Michel Sleiman on the social networking website Facebook were released on bail on Friday.
Judge Ghassan Owaidat released Naim Hanna, 27, Antoine Ramia, 29, and Shebel Qasab, 27 on a LL100,000 each.
The men were arrested on Monday after authorities interrogated them on charges of libel, slander and defamation against the president on Facebook.
The justice ministry had said the case met the requirements for a slander and defamation lawsuit, adding media freedom in Lebanon and any civilized country reaches its limits when the content is pure slander and aims at undermining the head of state.
