The head of the Change Movement, lawyer Elie Mahfoud, issued positions some time ago stating that the property on which the Great Prophet Hospital was built in the southern suburbs belongs to the Maronite Archdiocese of Beirut.
Mahfoud raises the issue of ownership of the property more than once to verify the identity of the owners of that property, and whether what he is saying is documented or is it part of the political arguments.
When the Beirut Archdiocese reviewed the Maronites, the referral was made to the Archdiocese’s lawyer, and following his review, he referred once more to the Archdiocese’s secretariat, as “perhaps there is a misunderstanding of the matter.”
The other party was the municipality of Burj al-Barajneh, where its head, Atef Mansour, confirmed to An-Nahar that the real estate on which the Great Prophet Hospital was built does not belong to the diocese, as was reported, and added: “Real estates in that area are subject to joint ownership, and therefore there are many owners of the real estate who own shares in it.” The number may reach thousands of owners, and among them may be owners from the honorable Maronite sect, but it is not possible to know the percentage of shares they own.
As for the hospital administration, it does not comment on what is raised in the media from time to time, but local circles call on those claiming ownership to present evidence of that and present their documents so that they can follow the judicial path to obtain and preserve rights.
