Four Lebanese jailed for rude commentary on Facebook
Four Lebanese university students have been jailed for a week for making crude remarks on the Facebook social networking site about the singing talents of a woman they met at a party, media reports said on Thursday. Local newspapers reported that the students, all male, were ordered to be detained on January 10 after the young woman’s father objected to the authorities in the western town of Zahle. The four were charged with slander and “violating public morality” and were ordered to be held in preventive detention despite objections by human-rights groups.

Kuwaiti, you can comment on someone’s wall even if you are not friends with as long they do not have a restricted profile.
I am surprised that Lebanon have these same shitty regulations that were imposed by humbling 1/2 sharee3a society.. what a dispair of human mind :)

Actually, they were detained because they were attacking her online (we used to be in the same uni). She printed the comments and went to the police … meanwhile they deleted the comments. The police brought them in and questioned them for libel. This was unique because it was the first, and so far only interference of the lebanese government on the internet. The student later dropped the charges.
And fyi, all involved were christians … sharee3a had nothing to do with it.
