khazen.org stands with his Beatitude Maronite Cardinal Patriarch Bechara el Rai and the Maronite church from the insult of the unlawful detention of Archbishop Moussa al-Hajj. What has happened is an insult to all of the Maronites and Lebanese citizen including the double standard of using the judiciary system for political reasons. 

Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai said on Sunday that “arresting Haifa and the Holy Land Archbishop Moussa al-Hajj is an insult to the Maronite Church, because laws stipulate that a bishop or priest should not be tried without the patriarch’s authorization.” In front of a large crowd in Diman, the summer residence of the Maronite Patriarch, Rai considered that “what happened with Archbishop Al-Hajj is not only an insult, but an assault and an insult to the Maronite Patriarchate and me personally.” “It is forbidden to arrest Archbishop al-Hajj and question him at the Lebanese borders, and all MPs who came today to Diman will always be our voice in Parliament,” he added.
