Assad regime operatives are threatening Syria’s refugees in Lebanon to vote for Bashar al-Assad in the staged Presidential “election” on May 26.
Refugees in Lebanon tell L’Orient Today of the pressure by local pro-Assad organizations such as the Association of Syrian Workers in Lebanon.
Two refugees in the Minyeh area of Tripoli said Syrians in the area were called to an Association meeting last week at the office of Mohamad Matar, a Lebanese real estate businessman close to Assad’s Ba’ath Party.
One of the refugees said many of those who attended were unaware at first of the actual topic. He was told on the previous day, by a man in a Mercedes, to let the refugees know that there was a meeting with the UN where aid would be distributed.
