BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces MP Strida Geagea Monday said she was receiving once more harassing phone calls by an unidentified party and urged authorities to identify the culprits.
“From Sunday and leading up to Monday [morning], the lawmaker received a series of calls on her personal phone from a caller who issued a variety of threats and insults,” a statement from her office said, adding that the calls were made from blocked numbers.
The threatening calls, according to the statement, first surfaced in January, prior to the formation of the new government, and coincided with aerial activity by an unidentified aircraft over the LF headquarters in Maarab. The LF headquarters also serve as Geagea’s residence.
Geagea’s office also said that the latest phone calls came after the politician made remarks defending President Michel Sleiman against criticism from Hezbollah.
“Geagea is depending on the ministries as well as judicial and security bodies to pursue this dangerous case and urges them to take the necessary measures to identify the perpetrators,” the statement said.
“She stresses that such behavior will never affect her stances on current issues,” it added.
