Reporting by Melissa J. Avram:
We have always called on the media unions in Lebanon to intervene to control the sector and put an end to the transgressors once morest the profession. However, Haidar Al-Husseini’s transgression once morest the media profession went beyond calling himself a journalist, and reached the moral decline in it to the infringement of the dignity of girls.
With a Facebook post, journalist Rania Hamza decided to expose Al-Husseini following she fell victim to a fake job advertisement aimed at deceiving female journalists under the title “Wanted, director of a media office for the Lebanon News Foundation.” It turned out that the wanted one was “Director of Haider Al-Husseini’s bedroom.”
With a fresh dollar and a fictitious job offer, Al-Husseini attracts his victims. Hamza, in her post, shared the details of the job offer she received from Al-Husseini, $900 for a fresh dollar, in addition to $500 for shopping. Al-Husseini wants the director to dress up for him and his imaginary media office, bearing in mind that whoever searches for Al-Husseini’s photos on Facebook can discover that if Al-Husseini had the $500 he would have bought himself clothes.
1400$ nowadays may tempt many, especially in the field of media, where salaries are lower than other fields.
Hamza continues listing the conditions of work. Al-Husseini wants his office manager to love staying up late, to be of a strong personality and open, and to accompany him on his travels and trips inside Lebanon. Sleeping next to the employer has become one of the duties of the female employee these days, to ensure his comfort, of course.
“Savvy” at work and in the bedroom is a prerequisite for Al-Husseini, as he wants a manager with full qualifications to accompany him.
The “mockery” does not stop at what Al-Husseini did, but rather refers to those who refuse to hold him accountable for political considerations. Al-Husseini has several lawsuits from several sides and for different reasons, most notably fraud and fraud in the name of the media. However, every time Al-Husseini’s punishment is mitigating and he escapes from his “currency” as a result of interventions. Who protects Husseini? How long will he continue to cheat? What are his fraudulent plans ahead?
We are eagerly awaiting a new one, just as we are waiting for the judicial authorities and all media unions to move to put an end to anyone who exploits the media profession for malicious purposes.
And for everyone who fell victim to Al-Husseini and others, expose them before they multiply because unfortunately and due to the lack of accountability they have already multiplied!
