This evening, Monday, the media office of the head of the “Lebanese Forces” party, Samir Geagea, denied what was being circulated on social media regarding the latter’s illness and his transfer to the hospital.
And the text of the statement stated: Some pioneers of social networking sites are circulating “breaking news” that “an ambulance was seen speeding out of Dr. Samir Geagea’s house, followed by a few four-wheel drive vehicles towards the Our Lady of Relief Hospital.” Geagea suffers from a health problem, and this news was appended to the fact that it was issued by “Lebanon Press”. It is important for the media office of the head of the “Lebanese Forces” party to confirm that this news is false and has nothing to do with the truth, considering that Geagea is doing his work in his office at the party’s headquarters as usual.
The forces’ statement concluded: “Also, the media office stresses that the party’s legal apparatus will prosecute anyone who appears involved in the investigation and is involved in fabricating this news and promoting it on social media before the relevant judicial authorities.”
