Beauty of the world belongs to everyone
In 1975 the civil war started in Lebanon. The war lasted 25 years during which killings, massacres, bombs, occupation and forced disappearances all took place. I would like to reflect on war prisoners, the kidnapped and jailed as I perceive them to be the most unfortunate amongst all martyrs.
The war detainees and political prisoners are sometimes innocent people not related to politics and are sometimes political activists either way they are imprisoned and tortured behind the bars and it's really hard to get them out.
The political detainment is still happening in 2018 all over the globe during wars and occupations specially.
Lebanon has had political prisoners in jails in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Torture in those jails has been at the highest level even for people who were not active politically and had committed no crimes.
In 2017 I volunteered in Fushat Amal an NGO designed to tell the stories of the disappeared and they were sharing a story that there s around 800 Lebanese detained in Syrian jails.
The world has got to come together and say no to such unethical taking of lives. Some countries have ethical policies when it comes to war prisoners however they still find ways to send their detained to jails in the developing world and not to their own jails. We need a solution for those acts of violence such as passing a law in the UN forbidding innocent imprisonment and destruction of the torture jails across the globe.
As we see this as a political ethics problem we sometimes forget that the detainees are normal people with stories of love like us for example a 25 year old journalist who was preparing for her marriage taken in the Serbian war will never have a chance for life outside of jails same as a Syrian war prisoner who is an 18 years old boy in medical school. This is the reason the world should put an end to this nonsense.
The people who have lost this battle have lost real and a lot.
I would like to give my sincere respect in this blog to the 16000 disappeared of Lebanon and the activists who have suffered in jail during the 1990s in Lebanon. We wouldn't have been living in liberty now without their sacrifices.
