Brother Franklin Lamb was expecting it. Ten days ago he wrote to me:
"This is all getting a bit outta control dear.
Given this mondays directive from the US Embassy Beirut to Lebanese General Security to arrest and deport mr. Lamb asap I and not confident that i will make it outta this place on reasonable terms.......true enough i have a couple of friends here but ..i have no idea how this is all going to end"
Mr. Lamb is a main contibutor in this site, He is working with the Palestine Civil Rights Campaign in Lebanon on drafting legislation which, after 62 years, would, if adopted by Lebanon’s Cabinet and Parliament grant the right to work and to own a home to Lebanon’s Palestinian Refugees.
We call the Lebanese Authorities to release him immediately,

BEIRUT (Rebel News) - Lebanon based human rights lawyer Franklin Lamb has been arrested on Wednesday evening by General Security in Lebanon where he was scheduled to board a flight for a trip to South Africa. Lamb had been informed prior to his visit that the American government was trying to control his movements and had threatened to arrest him if he left Lebanon.
Lamb is an American citizen who has been working in Lebanon on a research project with the American University. An assistant to Lamb believes he was arrested due to pressure from the American government because of his outspoken views on Palestine and the role of America and Israel in the region.
Lamb, a regular contributor to Rebel News, has travelled extensively in the recent past and this is the first time he has had problems leaving Lebanon.
