All big fires start with one little flame…

All big fires start with one little flame…

To my Friend,

I will now write you a little story of a little child who loved to

smile… however, things were not always good for him to smile… he asked questions… he questioned everything…

he questioned life

his existence

the beliefs of his parents

the beliefs of his society

he questioned the norms

he questioned everything

nothing was certain

nothing was true

all became a hypothesis

and then he started his quest

his quest for answers

he started with his peers

and then with his parents

and then with their friends

and then with his teachers

and ultimately

he found two sources for answers

they were called books and TV

from books he took knowledge

from TV he took awareness

the amount of awareness he gathered

was much much more than the amount of knowledge

and that made him

arrogant

he thought he knew

until he met with that person

who questioned his knowledge and showed him his stupidity

he did not like it

he did not like feeling

stupid

and his awareness made him realize

that in reality he was pretending that he knew

why?

because pretending

will boost his ego

why?

because he was having inferiority complexes

his father who does not work

his mother who had to work in cleaning the offices of a company

so she can feed him and his sister

and then come back home

to find her husband

sitting with his books

eating

making a mess out of the house

she comes back to clean the house

and make food

and take care of his grandfather

the little child saw the suffering of his mother

he rejected it

he questioned it

he found answers

why

nothing to do with him

it is not his fault

so much to ask from that little child

he wanted to help his mother

he learned about how the society is treating her

only because she is a woman

how her husband

does not only misuse her

and her work

and his powers over her

but also accused her

of cheating on him

with the neighbor

who used to hear her agony

and her suffering

what is cheating anyway? Having sex with someone else?! Why is it bad?

and then he asked

is that wrong

is that right?

why?

always questioning

why

?

then he learned

that women are not independent creatures

they are only tools

they are belongings

he said

this is unjust

he said

that should not exist

and then he read

women should be subjected to men

they are not allowed to teach

they are not allowed

to speak

they are not allowed to show their hair

they are not allowed to wear jewels

he also read that women are the daughters of the devil

and it is because of them

that Adam lost paradise

…:@

but not my mom

no my mom did not do that, the little child said

on the contrary without his mom the little child concluded

he would be in misery and in need

then they said

women have a role and men have another

then he said: but mom has both roles

then they said

women cannot do what men can

then he said

but my mom is doing it and more

then he read

that women are the backbones of all societies

women harvest

women raise babies

women give birth

women take care

women make food

clean

cook

do everything

and more

then they said

but you are a man

i said to them

no i am not a man

if i am to choose what to want

i want to be a woman

being a man is stupid

arrogant

violent

and not useful

if i am to choose

i will choose being a woman

being a woman

do you like to get fucked ya3ni

i said

no

but why getting fucked is bad?

even if i like getting fucked

will that make me a lesser than a man! be it

my mind brought me to the solution of me being both

a man and a woman

the child said!

yes he was a man

he wanted women

and his mentality is that of what is good in woman

and what is good in men?!

the little child concluded

i am a Mawom!

a half man

and a half wom an

ma -n wom -an

half

but then the little child asked

“why do i want a woman?”

“why do a women want me?” he also questioned

and that brought him to why we are here

and why people exist

and what motivated them

and he discovered

that all humans want to survive

and survival of humans require that they gather and accumulate resources

but why?

they said it is god

he said

wait?

what is god?

who is god?

why is he a god?

how is he a god?

where is he that god?

and how can he change this shit that we are all in!

they replied

god

is the creator

how do you know?

it is written in his book?

!

he created humans!

why?

he gave them their freedom to do what they want! what?

!!!

how can i talk to him, I have some demands!

pray to him, he shall answer your prayers

the little child, went on praying

he talked to him, saying: GOD…i want nothing for me

only for my mother

because she too when she was a child

she was sent to Lebanon from Syria to work

for her parents can live

she was tortured

she was ill-treated

she was beaten

they use to make her starve!

she was 6!

he said to God, listen… i don’t know why you let that happen… but…

he said to god, i’m sure she was also raped… she never said that… but common sense says that…

i’m not sure how you let a 6 years old child suffer that much

i don’t know where you are

what you have been doing

with what you were busy

but couldn’t you hear her screams!

then a little voice pumped out and said

“question everything”

ok god, the little boy said… it seems you don’t have time to answer me so i         will try to ask you for something now

i will do whatever you want from me

in return, please stop the suffering of my mother

nothing happened… the little child saw…

!

God, please make that stop!

:S

not for me, only for her!

she had enough already!

nothing happened

so the little boy went back

and said

if you will not hear my requests

maybe another god will

so he started looking

for the sadness of things

all gods failed!

yet, they all said

there is only one god, one path, one way

and everyone else to hell

but why

where is the mercy in that!

reply came

missionaries are everywhere now

yes

they are everywhere… i was born to a family that says, this god is the true          god and you should fight for him

but the other is born to another family saying , the other god is the true god

and you should fight for him

so they fight!

one dies

and goes to hell

and the second dies and goes to heaven

who will go to heaven and who will go to hell!

?

god works in mysterious ways my ass!

he does not answer a prayer

he created us

wanting and needing

some with powerful character and others with weaker…

some can fight the urge for what is forbidden

and others just can’t

those who can’t will DIE!

will burn in hell!

will be roasted !

but god can do that to you…

so you should be afraid! They said…

should i?

if god will burn me in hell for not believing in him and doing what the book          says i should do, but will not stop the suffering of my mother!

then i will kill that god

for him is not a god

he is a piece of shit

shit

but god has nothing to do with it… some said… it is the freedom of men

it is the freedom of human beings

who misuse the power handled to them by god!

ok come on!

the little boy said

give me a fucking break!

GOD… who created humans… who wants them to worship him… who wants to reward them with heaven if they did what he wants and sends them            to hell if they did not… does not answer prayers, could not figure out a                 system more rewarding and more logical than sending them to earth,,,

so they should come to earth and after that they go to heaven?!

why?

that is stupid?!

do you want to test them?

but you created them!

you stupid fuck…

you created them

like you want

you can create them good

you can create them bad

you can create them ugly

beautiful  or not

if they are beautiful… they will have more chances in life! If smarter… more chances…

life is not fair

it is a jungle

the big will eat the weak

YOU … you created them one strong and one weak

why/

why

why

you know what

how do i know that you exist

?

only because my parents said that!

show me your work!

show me yourself

show me your power

show me your strength

hell…

but this is hell

more than this!

what do you want from me?

to help my fellow human beings!?

why don’t you help them too

that is a stupid logic

listen god

you kiss my ass

you and your Jesus and your Mohammed and your stupid fucking Moses

i don’t give a shit

i don’t give a shit

to your sexist and demeaning code of conduct

fuck you

but wait

not only that

but your book is full of shit

va te faire foutre!

if you really exist

you fucking shit

but you don’t exist

you are just a sad and bad fairy tale

similar to a dark Santa clause

you are grownups imaginary friend

good for politicians, good for business

good for the powerful

your promises

of a better life

help people die for the powerful…

you are nothing but a muse

muse

for rich people

and those in power

my mother’s problem

i don’t know

why we are here

how, when, where

but i know your answers are stupid

I’ve read your books

i know your logic

and you… va te faire foutre

yalla 3amo!

the little child

grew up

he refused to be what everyone is

he had so many failures

and he had so few wins

he is now at his final battle

if he won

he will be calling to  change the world

because changing the world is a matter of power and not of possibility

and knowledge is a form of power

having a plan is another

having resources and determination to implement the plan

is the hardest part… he came to conclude

a world where people can find people like them ready to help, love, nurture, support and protect… can exist

only if it is necessary for each of them to give in order to take…

god is vacationing

it is up to us, to bond, to plan, to agree and to change the world…

yet… i feel lonely….

because i am

26 years

including 3 years in my own prison…

i was questioning and asking and researching

now it is time to do… but the odds are not on my side… I am alone…

i think i will fail to reach enough people like me…

but to the last breath… i will keep trying

the good news is… in all cases, and whatever will happen does not matter

because

they are randomness and necessity what are driving us now

why i have told you that… because i was afraid of telling you that… and no I have no more secrets …

Therefore, for that agent who asked about me yesterday… in that International NGO and to those behind him… in this document you will learn everything you need to know about me… and you have my phone number so I can tell you who is supporting me… no one… only my belief that all big fires start with one little flame…

good night…

The letter sent to the militart Court in English

هذه الصفحة باللغة العربية

To the Permanent Military Court in Beirut- Lebanon,

To the Government Commissioner at the Military Court

Brigadier General Nizar Khalil,

Judge Mr. Danny Zaani,

Colonel George Hanna,

Judge Saqr Saqr,

From  Nour Merheb
(Defendant in case No. 2769 \ 2008)

I send you this letter while I have knowledge of the laws in force that govern your work and of the possible consequences sending this letter may incur and that may affect the result of this case.

Martin Luther King said: “One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

Two years have passed since the beginning of my trial before the military court based on unfair charges and forgotten justice, throughout which i have witnessed various types of violations. Every time I surrendered myself to you, to obey the law, an internal battle erupted between my conscience and what my logical thinking dictated to me.

The reason why I accepted to attend the military court hearings in the first place was to prove that I am innocent beyond any doubt, even though the legal rule requires the prosecution to prove that I am guilty beyond any doubt. But I was never sure of the impartiality of the military court especially that the pre-trial proceedings confirmed this observation, and specifically since your military command asked me to pay the medical fees and compensation for the temporary incapacity of attending work it paid for the soldier that attacked me and tried to incriminate me. All this despite the fact that the investigation of the military police proved that I should bear no responsibility and hence it proved my innocence as to the fabricated charges by the written  testimony of the military investigator recorded in the report rasied to you, and in which he literally wrote:
“It was concluded from the investigation that officer” J.Z.” interfered in a disagreement that does not concern him, especially since he is a member in the committee of the building where he resides and he came to blows with the so-called Merheb. The investigation did not find that the latter held out a knife against him – Officer “J.Z.” number: xxxxx, from the General Inspectorate at the Ministry of Defense, shall hold the following responsibility: – on 07/02/2008, in the locality of New Rawda, he came to blows with a civilian, not to mention that he is also a member of the building committee and he interferes in its affairs without any right.”

In addition, I send you this letter, first, to extend my apologies to you because my acceptance to be tried before the military court is similar to a soldier’s betrayal of his country and it is a betrayal of the values of justice and the duty of citizenship before injustice and thus a betrayal to you as citizens, as well as a betrayal to my personal values. Secondly, I send you this letter to apologize to myself, because my decision to prove my innocence before I declared my current position brought me distress for more than two years while witnessing the kinds of violations occurring in the corridors of the military court, and thirdly, to apologize to all the people who ever heard me lecturing them on how to deal with injustice and tyranny.

The history of the military courts is one of the darkest pages in the history of Lebanon. How many people lost their life unjustly and wrongfully and never had the right to defend themselves in the name of the law and the Lebanese people? How many prisoners of conscience, political prisoners and human rights activists lost their jobs and their future because they were unjustly imprisoned? How many students were beaten, tortured, hung forcibly (method of torture) and suffered deep distress from the oppression they were subjected to only for distributing a flyer or a publication that your military or political command did not like?

How many people, like Ms. Maguie Karam, mother of six, were tortured, beaten and imprisoned for days, weeks and even months in bathrooms in use? How many Lebanese people and Citizens like Nu’man Abou Antoun, Huda Yammine, Hikmat Dib, Elie Keyrouz, Tony Orian, Paul Bassil, Elsie Mfarej, Salman Samaha and Jean Paul Dib … and how many writers and thinkers, such as Adonis Alakra, Toufic Al Hindi, Habib Younis and Antoine Bassil … and how many students like Mario Chamoun, Rami Saliba and Ziad Abi Nader … and hundreds of others … were prosecuted and persecuted, detained and beaten, tortured, imprisoned and oppressed? How many people like Gaby Karam and his wife, Hala were tried and convicted several times for the same charges, and that contrary to the most basic legal norms and humanitarian values?

Bad laws are the worst form of tyranny and people crushed by law have no hope but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; “and those, who have much to hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous”, You know that the laws change according to who writes them, but justice remains justice and does not change.

Some laws are not written but they are more legitimate than all laws. Those laws are my weapon and shield, and with them I face today the tyranny and injustice of this Court; these laws are the laws of justice and human rights, many of which were written in the Lebanese law and many are not written therein yet.

However, since the laws of this country still do not prevent the strong from crushing the weak,

And since I am weak and I have no weapon but the human conscience and humanitarian rights,

Therefore,

I declare your military court illegitimate, denounce the illegitimacy of all its issued decisions and procedures and invite you to resign from your posts in the name of human conscience and in defense of human rights and dignity as well as of the dignity of the Lebanese citizens.

Edmund Burke said: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”. I decided not to be quiet anymore whatever is the cost of my speaking!

The veracity of my declaration of the illegitimacy of your court is confirmed by international laws and treaties, as well as by the recommendations of international Human Rights committees and organizations, such as the recommendations of the Commission on Human Rights of the United Nations on April 1997: “The Committee expresses concern about the broad scope of the jurisdiction of military courts in Lebanon, especially its extension beyond disciplinary matters and its application to civilians. It is also concerned about the procedures followed by these military courts, as well as the lack of supervision of the military courts’ procedures and verdicts by the ordinary courts. The State party should review the jurisdiction of the military courts and transfer the competence of military courts, in all trials concerning civilians and in all cases concerning the violation of human rights by members of the military, to the ordinary courts.”

The independence of the judiciary is a perequisite and a key guarantee for achieving justice in the society and for the protection of human rights. Indeed, without an independent judiciary the rights and freedoms of the citizens become vulnerable to abuse and assault, whether by the executive or legislative authority or by the powerful people in the authority. The goal of the judiciary can not be achieved without judges enjoying impartiality, integrity, honesty competence and ability to issue judgments according to the rules of law, with complete impartiality and far from any external influence, physical or mental, by anyone, whether an authority or an individual, and whatever is the objective of this influence, whether political, social, partisan, functional, economic or else.

In this context, I refer to Articles 7 to 11 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that confirms both the principle of equality before the law and the presumption of innocence. Article 10 stipulates that: “Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.”

Therefore, in application of the provisions of the Lebanese Constitution and article 2 of the Code of Civil Procedures that give the precedence to the provisions of international treaties over the provisions of ordinary law, when it comes to implementation, the treaties ratified by Lebanon enter into force within the domestic law as soon as they are published in the Official Gazette.

Moreover, the Constitutional Council has interpreted Article 20 of the Constitution (resolution No. 2/95, dated 02/25/1995), deciding that “According to the text of this article (article 20 of the Constitution) there are some personal rights (guarantees) that must be preserved for judges and litigants in order to provide for the requirements of independence for the judicial system and protect the right of counsel for defense, whereas any detraction of those personal rights leads to the violation of the constitutional article that expressly stipulates the requisiteness of such guarantees” (resolution No. 5/2000, dated 06/27/2000). In another resolution (resolution No. 1/99, dated 11/23/1999 and published in the Official Gazette, issue No. 56 dated 11/25/1999), the Constitutional Council also confirmed that the legislative authority shall not be entitled to reduce or modify the stipulated guarantees, unless other broader and more efficient are provided for. “And given that, when enacting a law dealing with fundamental rights and freedoms, the legislator cannot alter or cancel the effective legal texts guarantying these freedoms, without substituting them for texts that offer more guarantees or that offer at least the same efficiency and guarantees. In other words, the legislator shall not be entitled to weaken the guarantees he approved by virtue of previous laws, in terms of fundamental right or freedom, and that whether by canceling such guarantees without compensating them or by substituting them for less powerful and efficient guarantees. “

Given that military courts are organized according to law No. 24, dated April 13, April (Code of Military Courts); and since these courts fall within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense that exercises over them the same powers the Ministry of Justice exercises over civil courts,

and given that this law eliminates the fundamental guarantees that are given to citizens by other laws, such as the old Criminal Procedure Code and the Lebanese Constitution, as well as the international conventions and treaties that Lebanon signed and that have the same effect,

Therefore,

The Code of Military Courts is illegitimate, it should not be applied,  and the military court is consequently not entitled to hear my defense and all its decisions are illegal and unconstitutional.

Thus, in the name of the Constitution,  the Lebanese people, human rights and the values of justice, as well as in the name of the human conscience, I invite you once again to resign immediately in order to preserve justice and to uplift injustice.

Additionally, article 7 of the Code of Military Courts stipulates that the single military courts are assigned to civil judges from the judiciary system. However, they can be assigned to military officers (lieutenants and higher ranks) holders of a law degree, and if there are no officers with law degrees, then officers not holding such degrees can be assigned thereto.

Moreover, all the military court judges are appointed by the executive authority, what raises questions about their independence. Even more, military court judges are bound to the principle of military hierarchy and thus, there is no guarantee ensuring that they are independent judges and are qualified enough, due to the lack of studies and training and lack of specialization and competence. Hence, where are the rights of the citizens, where are the human rights and where are the international conventions and the Constitution and the laws, and most importantly, where is justice?

Military court hearings are ostensibly public. But, how can they be designated as public when people, media, human rights groups and lawyers are not allowed to attend them? What is the purpose then of such overtness if no one other than the defendants, their lawyers and the military are entitled to attend these hearings?

Defendants can have access to a lawyer as stipulated by the Code of Military Courts. However, the judge can prevent the lawyer from entering the military court for a whole month, “for disciplinary reasons” that are neither specific nor clear. The judge can also appoint a member of the military personnel under his command, to defend a suspect without reading the file of the person he is supposed to represent and without even talking to the defendant about the case. In such a case, the court assigns a military officer to assume the defense of the defendant without the prior consent of the latter. Similar ostensible military lawyers were appointed, in a way or another, for tens, nay for hundreds of powerless people who were trialed before the military court. Allow me to raise a question here: Do you know how many of those have been sentenced to death?

The thing that calls for anger and grief with the military court is the number of people who offered to intervene to my advantage in this case, while assuring me that their mediation will succeed! Hence, another question comes to mind, how do you accept to remain in duty when you are aware of the people’s opinion about your impartiality and your seriousness?

The rights of defense in the military court are widely restricted; especially that the General Military Prosecution is entitled to appeal against the military investigating judge’s decision to prevent the defendant’s trial, while the latter is not permitted to appeal against the accusation decision passed against him. Military courts pronounce their judgments by according to a printed list of questions about the facts of the crime, the aggravating circumstances, the tolerable excuses, and extenuating circumstances, to be answered by the judges of the Court very briefly and without any justification whatsoever.

As for the case that was filed against me, this is what I have to say:

* A military officer claims that I threatened him with a knife
* The military investigator concludes that there is no evidence that shows that I was carrying a knife
* After conducting inquiries and investigations, the military investigator concludes that the military officer is responsible since he intervened in a matter that does not concern him and since he admitted that he initiated the assault
*The military officer then admits that he did not see me carrying a knife, which contradicts his primary statements and the motive of his assault, as he declared it in the preliminary inquiry

Consequently, the facts are the following: there is no incriminating weapon, no eyewitness; a clear contradiction in the statements of the military officer, a complete absence of any evidence that confirms that I was carrying a knife, not to mention that the investigation of the military police held the officer fully responsible! Plus, there is no accusation list, no presumption of innocence and  no reason or argument for the trial except for the claims of your fellow officer! In spite of all this, I am being accused of charges that are punishable by up to three years in prison!

Finally, I am hereby declaring that I have not and will not escape. On the contrary, I wanted to inform you, by this letter, that I am staying at my place of residence in Dbayeh, at the address indicated in the file in your possession!

Fiat justitia, ruat caelum

The Case in Brief

Nour Merheb is a Lebanese citizen. civil rights advocate and a Nonviolent Human Rights defender.

Upon going out of his office on 07/02/2008, Nour was assaulted by a person named “J.Z.” because of a dispute that arose in the building where he (Nour) worked. Nour did his best to defend himself against the aggressor, but he got severally beaten. His injuries required him first to go to a medical examiner and then he directly headed to file a complaint before the competent authority- the military police- after he found out that “J.Z.” was in the military.
In the investigation conducted by the military police, the aggressor “J.Z.” claimed that Nour held out a knife against him, what lead him to assault him in self defense. Nour refuted this allegation deeming it a false accusation- knowing that no proof was brought forward to support the allegation of “J.Z.”.
The military police ran an investigation on the subject and held officer “J.Z.” responsible, as mentioned in the following report made by adjutant Ahmad Ismail from the military police:
“It was concluded from the whole investigation that the officer “J.Z.” stepped into a dispute he was not concerned in, especially that he is a member in the committee of the building where he resides and he came to blows with the so-called Merheb.

The investigation did not find that the latter held out a knife against him – Officer “J.Z.” number: xxxxx, from the General Inspectorate at the Ministry of Defense, shall hold the following responsibility: – on 07/02/2008, in the area of New Rawda, he came to blows with a civilian, not to mention that he is also a member of the building committee and he interferes in its affairs without any right.”

In contrary to the principles and rules of justice, the forces of power and oppression played their usual game and instead of prosecuting the officer, the army command, chiefs of staff and discipline and military justice, represented by Lieutenant Colonel Said, and after going back to the military prosecution office, decided to collect the hearing fees and the compensation for the suspension of officer “J.Z.”. The decision was put into effect on 07/07/2008 and Nour was ordered to pay the amount of 2,468,00 LBP.

Nour was surprised upon hearing the verdict and objected to it for he was the victim and not the defendant. He did not accept to pay, and was therefore accused, without any evidence, of threatening the officer with a knife and of disabling him for six weeks because of a broken finger. Nour was accused according to articles 557 and 573 of the penal law and 73 of the weapons law, with accusations punishable with imprisonment for up to three years. Moreover, Nour was referred to the permanent military court without appearing before an examining magistrate and without the submission of list of accusations that presents the evidence or proofs with which the general military prosecution, represented by Mr. “Sader”, supported its case.
Nour attended the military court hearings, testified and was subject to numerous abuses and violations. But, he finally managed to prove that “J.Z.” did not see a knife in his hand, through the confession of “J.Z.” himself, who reiterated this statement several times since the first court hearing. However, his statement was not recorded in the minutes of the hearing despite Nour’s persistent requests for it to be recorded until the hearing dated 01/22/2010, after Nour insisted before the judge. Yet, as it later turned out, the confession recorded in the minutes differed from the confession expressed by the officer and was somehow ambiguous.

In spite of that, the said statement is still considered a clear confession and must be considered sufficient evidence before the court to prove the contradiction in the officer’s statements in this concern. It states the exact following:
“The defendant “J.Z.” was questioned and he added saying: “I did not see a knife in Nour’s hand. However, after I went home, my brother-in-law told me he saw him pick his knife up from the ground and put it on his waist.”

After he succeeded in making officer “J.Z.” himself confess that there were no knife, and since he did not have faith in the military court, nor did he trust it to be impartial, knowledgeable, capable and honest, and to declare his innocence; and given the injustice he suffered by being prosecuted without due reasons; given the fact that he was treated as guilty while the officer was treated in a preferential way throughout the brief proceedings; and considering that the judge prevented Nour from talking and defending himself during the hearings at numerous occasions; and given that he proved his innocence by the confession of officer “J.Z.” himself (while originally, guilt should be proven and not innocence!!!); based on the aforementioned, Nour considers that the military court is unfair and illegitimate, and does not respect his right as a human being and his right, as a Lebanese citizen, to a fair and impartial trial that is provided for in the Constitution and in international covenants.

Accordingly, he has refused to cooperate with the military court as from 05/28/2010, and did not attend the hearing that was supposed to be held at that date, although he risked that an arrest warrant be issued against him and he be incarcerated. Nour also declared that he will not run away and that he will be present at his known place of residence. However, he will fight the evil and oppression caused by the military court by declaring his insubordination and non-cooperation, armed with human conscience and the truth.
Nour, who is innocent until the opposite is proved, and who was proven innocent by virtue of the investigation that was conducted by the military police and finally by the confession of the aggressor himself, endured what every other Lebanese citizen might endure, and for the silliest reasons. Therefore, Nour considers based on what his conscience compels him to do, that it is his duty as a human being and as a Lebanese citizen to stop cooperating with the military court and to declare it illegitimate, according to the Lebanese Constitution, the international covenants and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and that by refusing to cooperate with injustice, oppression, evil and abuse of power.
The stand that Nour, the human rights activist, took is an opportunity to demand openly the abolition of the military court and to object to its injustice, especially after the final verdict it issued on September 1, 2010, knowing that the said court ruled against Nour Merheb and sentenced him to two months of imprisonment and with payment of a fine of one hundred thousand Lebanese pounds.
Nour refuses to submit to the military court orders that he deems illegitimate. He refuses to cooperate or even defend himself before it and he demands the Lebanese State and the Parliament to abolish the competences of the military courts immediately. Nour did not run away. He is present at his house in Dbayeh and he will conduct a series of activities in the coming days to mobilize the forces required to demand the abolishment of military courts in Lebanon, while awaiting his arrest, which he will confront with nonviolent noncooperation methods.

الرسالة إلى المحكمة العسكرية

Letter to Court in PDF format

إلى حضرة المحكمة العسكرية الدائمة في بيروت،

إلى حضرة مفوض الحكومة لدى المحكمة العسكرية،

العميد الركن نزار خليل

القاضي الأستاذ داني الزعّني

العقيد الركن حنا جروج

القاضي صقر صقر

من نور مرعب

(مدعى عليه في القضية رقم 2769\2008)

تحية وبعد،

أرسل إليكم هذه الرسالة مع علمي بالقوانين المرعية الإجراء التي تحكم عملكم والنتائج المترتبة على هذه الرسالة والإحتمالات التي يمكن أن تأخذ هذه القضية مجراها بها.

قال مارتن لوثر كينغ: “للإنسان مسؤولية أخلاقية قبل أن تكون قانونية لأن يطيع القوانين العادلة. بنفس الوقت، للإنسان مسؤولية أخلاقية بأن يعصي القوانين الظالمة”

لقد مرت سنتان منذ بدأت محاكمتي أمام المحكمة العسكرية بتهم جائرة وعدالة منسية، وقد شهدت في خلال هذا الوقت شتى أنواع الإنتهاكات، وفي كل مرة سلّمت نفسي بها نفسي، طاعةً للقانون، كانت تتفجر في داخلي معركة بين ضميري وما يمليه عليه عقلي.

أما السبب الذي جعلني أحضر إلى المحكمة العسكرية سابقاً فكان أن أثبت أنني بريء بما لا يقبل الشك، مع أنّ القاعدة توجب على الإدعاء العام أن يثبت أنني مذنب بما لا يقبل الشك. ولكنني لم أكن يوماً واثقاُ من حيادية المحكمة العسكرية خصوصاً وأن الإجراءات التي سبقت المحاكمة أكدت هذا الأمر، وبالتحديد منذ أن طلبت قيادتكم مني دفع مبلغ المصارفات الطبية وبدل تعطيل عن عسكري قام بالهجوم والتعدي والتجني علي، مع أنّ تحريات الشرطة العسكرية اثبتت عدم وجوب تحملي أي مسؤولية وبالتالي برائتي من التهم الملفقة وبشهادة من المحقق العسكري مدونة في المحضر! حيث جاء حرفياً:

“يستنتج من مجمل التحقيق أنّ المعاون “ج.ز.” قد تدخل في خلاف لا يعنيه وخاصة أنه عضو في لجنة البناية حيث يقيم وقد اقدم على تبادل الضرب مع المدعو مرعب و لم يتبين من التحقيق إقدام الأخير على شهر سكين عليه- تترتب على المعاون ج. ز. رقم ؟؟؟؟؟ من المفتشية العامة للدفاع المسؤولية التالية: -بتاريخ 2/7/2008 وفي محلة نيو روضة اقدم على تبادل الضرب مع أحد المدنيين كما أنه عضو في لجنة البناية ويتدخل في شؤونها دون وجه حق.”

إلى ذلك، أرسل رسالتي هذه أولاً لأعتذر منكم، فقبولي بأن أحاكم في المحكمة العسكرية هي كخيانة الجندي لوطنه وهي خيانة لقيم العدالة ولواجب المواطنية في مواجهة الظلم وبالتالي خيانة لكم كمواطنين، وأيضاً خيانة لقيمي الشخصية. وثانياً، أرسل إليكم هذه الرسالة اعتذاراً لنفسي، فقراري أن اثبت برائتي قبل إعلان موقفي الحالي جلب العذاب لنفسي لأكثر من سنتين وهي تشاهد ما يجري من انتهاكات في أروقة المحكمة العسكرية، وثالثاً لأعتذر من كل الأشخاص الذين سمعوني وأنا أزايد عليهم بكيفية مواجهة الظلم والطغيان.

إن تاريخ المحكمة العسكرية هو من أظلم الصفحات في تاريخ لبنان، فكم من شخص فقد حياته ظلماً وجوراً ولم يحظَ بحق الدفاع عن نفسه وذلك بإسم القانون والشعب اللبناني؟ وكم من سجين رأي وسجين سياسي وناشط حقوقي فقد وظيفته ومستقبله لأنه سجن ظلماً؟ وكم من طالب ضرب وعذب وعلق وفقع قهراً بسبب توزيع منشور لم ينل إعجاب قيادتكم العسكرية أو السياسية؟

كم من شخص مثل السيدة ماغي كرم، والدة الأطفال الست، التي عذبت وضربت وسجنت لأيام وأسابيع وأشهر في حمامات قيد الإستعمال؟ كم من إنسان ومواطن لبناني مثل نعمان ابو أنطون وهدى يمين وحكمت ديب وإيلي كيروز وطوني أوريان وبول باسيل وإلسي مفرج وسلمان سماحة وجون بول ديب… وكم من كاتب ومفكر مثل أدونيس العكره وتوفيق الهندي وحبيب يونس وأنطوان باسيل… وكم من طالب مثل ماريو شمعون، ورامي صليبا وزياد أبي نادر… والمئات غيرهم… تمت ملاحقتهم واضطهادهم واعتقالهم وضربهم وتعذيبهم وسجنهم وقمعهم؟ وكم من شخص مثل غابي كرم وزوجته هالة تمت محاكمتهم ومعاقبتهم مرات ومرات عديدة للتهم عينها وذلك خلافاً لأبسط القواعد القانونية والقيم الإنسانية؟

إنّ القوانين السيئة هي أسوء أشكال الإستبداد، ولا أمل عندئذ للأشخاص المسحوقين بالقانون، إلا بالقوة. فإذا كانت القوانين عدوة لهم، سيكونون هم أيضاً أعداءا للقوانين “وهؤلاء الذين لديهم الكثير من الآمال ولا شيء يخسروه، سيكونون دائماً خطيرين”. وأنتم تعلمون أنّ القوانين تتغير بحسب من ينصها ولكن العدالة تبقى عدالة ولا تتغير.

بعض القوانين ليست مكتوبة ولكنها شرعية أكثر من كل القوانين. وتلك القوانين هي سلاحي ودرعي، وبها أجابه اليوم جبروت وظلم هذه المحكمة، هذه القوانين هي قوانين العدالة وحقوق الإنسان التي منها كتب في القانون اللبناني ومنها لم يكتب بعد!

ولكن بما أنّ قوانين هذا البلد ما زالت لا تمنع القوي من سحق الضعيف،

ولأنني ضعيف ولا أملك إلا سلاح الحق والضمير الإنساني،

فإنني،

أعلن عدم شرعية محكمتكم العسكرية وعدم شرعية القرارات والإجراءات الصادرة عنها، وأدعوكم للإستقالة من مناصبكم بإسم الضمير الإنساني ودفاعاً عن حقوق الإنسان والكرامة البشرية وكرامة المواطن اللبناني.

قال إدموند بورك: “كل ما هو مطلوب لينتصر الشر هو أن لا يفعل الخيرين شيئاً”. وأنا قررت أن لا أسكت بعد اليوم مهما كان ثمن تكلمي!

إنّ قولي بعدم شرعية محكمتكم تؤكد صحتها القوانين والمعاهدات الدولية وأيضاً توصيات لجان وجمعيات حقوق الإنسان العالمية كتوصيات لجنة حقوق الإنسان التابعة للأمم لمتحدة، نيسان/أبريل ١٩٩٧: ” (…) تعرب اللجنة عن قلقها إزاء النطاق الواسع للولاية القضائية للمحاكم العسكرية في لبنان وبخاصة توسيعها الى ما هو أبعد من القضايا التأديبية وتطبيقها على المدنيين. كذلك، يساورها القلق إزاء الاجراءات التي تتبعها هذه المحاكم العسكرية، فضلاً عن انعدام رقابة المحاكم المدنية على اجراءات المحاكم العسكرية وأحكامها. وينبغي على الدولة الطرف مراجعة الولاية القضائية للمحاكم العسكرية ونقل اختصاصها في جميع المحاكمات المتعلقة بالمدنيين وفي جميع القضايا المتعلقة بانتهاكات حقوق الانسان التي يرتكبها العسكريون الى المحاكم المدنية”.

يشكل استقلال القضاء شرطاً مسبقا وضمانة رئيسية لتحقيق العدالة في المجتمع ولحماية حقوق الإنسان. ذلك أنّه بدون وجود قضاء مستقل تغدو حقوق المواطنين وحرياتهم عرضة للانتهاك والاعتداء عليها سواء من قبل السلطة التنفذية أو السلطة التشريعية أو من قبل المتنفذين في السلطة. فلا يمكن أن يتحقق هدف القضاء بدون قضاة يتمتعون بالحياد والنزاهة والأمانة والكفاءة والقدرة على إصدار الأحكام وفق أصول القانون، وبتجرّد تام وبعيد عن أيّ تأثير خارجي، مادي أو معنوي، يُمارس من أيّ كان، أسلطة أم فرد، ومهما كان هدف هذا التأثير سواء سياسي أو إجتماعي أو حزبي أو وظيفي أو إقتصادي أو غير ذلك.

وفي هذا السياق أشير إلى المواد 7 إلى 11 من الإعلان العالمي لحقوق الإنسان التي تؤكد على مبدأ المساواة أمام القانون وقرينة البراءة. فتنص المادة ١٠ منه على أنّ: “لكل إنسان، على قدم المساواة التامة مع الآخرين، الحق في أن تنظر قضيته أمام محكمة مستقلة ومحايدة، نظراً منصفاً وعلنيا، للفصل في حقوقه والتزاماته وفي أية تهمة جزائية توجه إليه.”

وتطبيقا لأحكام مقدمة الدستور اللبناني والمادة ٢ من قانون أصول المحاكمات المدنية التي تعطي الصدارة في مجال التطبيق لأحكام المعاهدات الدولية على أحكام القانون العادي، فإنّ المعاهدات التي صادق لبنان عليها تدخل حيّز التنفيذ في القانون الداخلي فور نشرها في الجريدة الرسمية.

كما وقد فسّر المجلس الدستوري المادة 20 (القرار رقم 2\95 تاريخ 25-2-1995) من الدستور مقررا “أنه يستفاد من نص هذه المادة (٢٠ من الدستور) أنّ ثمة ضمانات يجب حفظها للقضاة والمتقاضين من أجل تأمين متطلبات استقلال القضاء وصون حق الدفاع، وحيث أنّ الإنتقاص من هذه الضمانات يؤدي إلى مخالفة المادة الدستورية التي تنص صراحة على وجوب توافرها” (القرار رقم 5\2000 تاريخ 27-6-2000) . كما أكد المجلس الدستوري في قرار آخر( القرار رقم 1\99 تاريخ 23-11-1999 منشور في الجريدة الرسمية العدد 56 تاريخ 25-11-1999) أنه لا يجوز للسلطة التشريعية إنقاص الضمانات المقررة أو تغييرها إلا إذا أوجدت ضمانات أخرى أوسع وأكثر فعالية، “وبما أنّ المشترع عندما يسن قانوناً يتناول الحقوق والحريات الأساسية فلا يسعه أن يعدّل أو أن يلغي النصوص القانونية النافذة الضامنة لهذه الحريات دون أن تحلّ محلها نصوص أكثر ضمانة أو تعادلها على الأقل فاعلية وضمانة، بمعنى أنه لا يجوز للمشرّع أن يضعف من الضمانات التي أقرّها بموجب قوانين سابقة لجهة حق أو حرية أساسية سواء عن طريق إلغاء هذه الضمانات دون التعويض عنها أو بإحلال ضمانات محلها أقل قوّة وفاعلية”.

وبما أنّ المحاكم العسكرية منظمة وفقاً للقانون رقم ٢٤ تاريخ ١٣ نيسان/أبريل ١٩٦٨، وهي تابعة لوزارة الدفاع التي تمارس عليها نفس الصلاحيات التي تمارسها وزارة العدل على المحاكم المدنية،

وبما أن هذا القانون جاء ليلغي الضمانات الأساسية المتاحة للمواطن في قوانين أخرى مثل أصول المحاكمات الجزائية القديم والدستور اللبناني والمواثيق والمعاهدات الدولية التي وقع عليها لبنان والتي لها نفس درجة القوة،

لذلك،

فقانون القضاء العسكري هو قانون غير شرعي ولا يجب تطبيقه وبالتالي لا شرعية للمحكمة العسكرية لسماع دفاعي وكل قراراتها هي غير قانونية وغير دستورية.

وبذلك، أدعوكم مجدداً بإسم الدستور والشعب اللبناني وحقوق الإنسان وقيم العدالة، كما وبإسم الضمير الإنساني، إلى الإستقالة فوراً صوناً للعدالة ورفعاً للظلم.

وأيضاً، إن المادة 7 من قانون القضاء العسكري تنص على أنه يتولى القضاء العسكري المنفرد قضاة من ملاك القضاء العدلي، غير أنه يمكن تعيينهم من الضباط المجازين في الحقوق من رتبة ملازم أول فما فوق وإذا تعذر ذلك فمن غير المجازين.

هذا بالإضافة إلى أنه يتمّ تعيين جميع قضاة المحاكم العسكرية من قبل السلطة التنفيذية ما يجعل استقلاليتهم موضع شك ويخضع القضاة العسكريون الذين يؤلفون المحاكم العسكرية لمبدأ التسلسل العسكري وبالتالي فلا ضمانة بأنهم قضاة مستقلين ويتمتعون بالكفاءة المطلوبة بسبب نقص الدراسة والتدريب وعدم الإختصاص. فأين حقوق المواطنين وأين حقوق الإنسان وأين المواثيق الدولية والدستور والقوانين، والأهم، أين العدالة؟

إنّ جلسات المحاكمة في المحكمة العسكرية هي علنية في الظاهر ولكن كيف تكون علنية ويمنع الناس والإعلام وجمعيات حقوق الإنسان والمحامون من حضورها؟ ما الهدف من العلانية إن كان من يحضر الجلسات هم المدعى عليهم ووكلائهم والعسكر؟

إن الاستعانة بمحام أمر منصوص عليه في قانون القضاء العسكري، لكن يمكن للقاضي أن يمنع المحامي من الدخول إلى المحكمة العسكرية لمدة شهر كامل وذلك “لأسباب تأديبية” غير محددة وواضحة. كما ويمكنه تعيين عسكري يأتمر به للدفاع عن متهم من دون أن يقرأ ملف من يفترض به تمثيله ويستمع إليه. في مثل هذه الحالة تكلف المحكمة ضابطاً عسكرياً ليتولى الدفاع عن المدعى عليه بدون الحصول مسبقاً على موافقة هذا الأخير. وقد تم تعيين محامين صوريين لعشرات لا بل لمئات من المغلوب على أمرهم في المحكمة العسكرية بهذه الطريقة أو بطرق أخرى. وسؤالي لكم، هل تعلمون كم شخصاً منهم قد حُكم عليه بالإعدام؟

وأكثر ما يدعو للحزن والغضب في المحكمة العسكرية هو عدد الأشخاص الذين عرضوا علّي أن يتدخلوا لمصلحتي في هذه القضية وهم يؤكدون أن واسطتهم ستفعل فعلها عندكم؟ وسؤالي لكم، كيف تقبلون أن تكونوا في مناصبكم وأنتم تعلمون ما رأي الناس في حياديتكم وجديتكم؟

إنّ حقوق الدفاع في المحكمة العسكرية مقيّدة على نطاق واسع، إذ يحق للنيابة العامة العسكرية أن تستأنف قرار قاضي التحقيق بمنع المحاكمة عن المدعى عليه، في حين لا يمكن للمتهم أن يستأنف قرار الإتهام الصادر ضدّه. تصدر المحاكم العسكرية أحكامها على أساس لائحة أسئلة مطبوعة تتعلق بوقائع الجريمة، وظروف التشديد، والأعذار المحلة، والظروف المخففة التي يجيب عليها قضاة المحكمة بشكل موجز جداً ومن دون تبرير.

أما في ما يختص بموضوع القضية التي رفعت ضدي فهذا ما لدي لأقوله:

• يدّعي عسكري أنني شهرت سكيناً عليه تهديداً
• يستنتج المحقق أنّ لا دليل على أنني كنت أحمل سكيناً
• يستنتج المحقق العسكري بعد القيام بالتحريات والتحقيقات أن المسؤولية تقع على عاتق ذلك العسكري لتدخله في أمر لا يعنيه ولإعترافه بأنّه بادر إلى الهجوم والتعدي
• ويعود العسكري ويعترف بأنّه لم يرى سكيناً بيدي، الأمر الذي يناقض أقواله الأولية ودافع هجومه كما صرح عنه في التحقيق الأولي

وبالتالي تكون الوقائع هي التالية: لا سلاح جريمة، لا شاهد عيان، وتناقض واضح بأقوال العسكري، وعدم وجود دليل يؤكد حملي لسكين وتحميل الشرطة العسكرية المسؤولية كاملةً للعسكري! ولا لائحة اتهام ولا قرينة براءة ولا دافع للمحاكمة ولا حجة سوى أقوال زميل لكم! وبالرغم من هذا أنا أحاكم بتهم تصل عقوبتها إلى ثلاث سنوات سجن!

وأخيراً، أنا لم أفر ولن أفعل لا بل أعلن لكم بهذا الكتاب أنّ مكان تواجدي هو في محلة الضبية في مكان سكني المعروف لديكم والمذكور في الملف!

Fiat justitia, ruat caelum
