There has been a lot of activity in the Middle East this year. First Israel invading and bombing the Arab sector of Israel, and later on this summer with elections in Lebanon. On June 7th 2009,Lebanon held elections and the March 14th block won. This was the same government that was running Lebanon previously.
Just before the elections,the Lebanese government announced publicly that it was arresting and trying people suspected of collaborating or spying for Israel. As a result many television stations in Lebanon and outside reported this on their news channels. But Hezbollah milita have found this to be not true, and that this was just a story invented by the Lebanese government to try to cover up for the fact that it is involved with the Israeli government and to look good before the elections.
There are two main political groups in Lebanon,March 14,which has Sunni Moslem and Christian parties and March 8th. Which consists of Shiite Moslem parties and Christian parties. March 8th,also includes the political party with Hezbollah's name,which is not part of Hezbollah milita but part of the Lebanese and Iranian government.
Lebanon gets support from Iran and Syria,which sends money to Lebanon and helps the Lebanese government run the country. At around the same time Iran,Hezbollah milita's own country,where Hezbollah milita members are from,also had elections. As a result there were street protests in Iran over the re-election of the same president and also here in Lebanon.
But also public demonstrations took place in other countries in Europe including cities in England and in America. After Lebanon's elections,the Lebanese government imposed tough security on the streets here. Police and the Lebanese army started patrolling the streets everywhere,stopping and searching people and asking for their identity cards.
This is still going on now,five months after the elections. And it is thought of by many media's,that the violent protests,that have taken place this year in Iran,is one of the reasons for the tight security in Lebanon now. Which is still being imposed by the Lebanese government because they fear of a military coup by civilians. But that may not be the only reason,the government in Lebanon has also tried to curb the freedom of milita's including Hezbollah,and they too are being effected by the security on Lebanon's streets now.
Both civilians and milita's are finding it hard to cope with the harassment of the police and Lebanese army. Who are now going into private homes and public buildings,such as schools,colleges and even shopping centres,asking to see ID cards,taking away anybody,with the "wrong papers." Although most of these people are later released,this is causing tension among a lot of people. Now the Lebanese government is still keeping up the false story that it is arresting Israeli spies,when it is still involved with, and helping the Israeli government.
Hezbollah milita say that there have been no arrests of any spies or Israeli informers by the Lebanese government.
The only people who have ever taken any action against such people are Hezbollah and other milita's,not the government. It is not known why the media is telling the rest of the world that the Lebanese authorities are arresting people spying for Israel,when clearly this is not true.
This story has been proven to be false by Hezbollah milita,who have evidence that no such arrests have been made by the government.
Perhaps the media knows the truth as Hezbollah and other milita's know it but the reporters are afraid of reprisals by the Lebanese government. But it is clear that the authorities in Lebanon are lying to the public again.
