The General Secretariat of Catholic Schools called for closing all Catholic schools across Lebanon tomorrow Friday, and to consider it “a day of prayer for Lebanon’s salvation,” following the murder of Lebanese Forces coordinator in Jbeil district Pascal Sleiman.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the General Secretariat affirmed its adherence to “the preservation of the dignity of the human being and the right to a dignified life,” strongly condemning the killings that are being committed and the violations of human dignity.
The statement also denounced the insecurity in Lebanon and called on the government and security apparatuses to “assume their national responsibilities by promoting security and stability.”
Sleiman was kidnapped on Sunday in the area of Jbeil. His body was found a day later in Syria. A gang of Syrian car thieves is believed to be behind his killing after attempting to steal his car.
