BEIRUT: MP Michel Aoun called Wednesday for including a representative of the families of captive servicemen in the government’s crisis cell which is handling the negotiations to secure their release.
“We recommend having a representative of the families in the crisis cell in order to update the relatives of the captives with the news, be they good or bad news,” Aoun said after meeting a delegation of the families.
“We know nothing about the negotiations, but the families of the victims have the right to know, a right that is stipulated by international laws,” Aoun said, noting that none of his Free Patriotic Movement ministers was in the crisis cell.
