Lebanese president claims PM being held by Saudis
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA statement from Lebanese President Michel Aoun claims the country’s prime minister, Saad Hariri, is being held in Riyadh, with restrictions on his freedom, MTV Lebanon reports.
A political crisis has gripped Lebanon and shattered the relative peace maintained by its coalition government since Hariri’s stunning announcement November 4 from the Saudi capital that he was resigning. Lebanese officials have insisted on the return home of Hariri from Saudi Arabia amid rumors he is being held against his will.
Hariri is set to give an interview from Riyadh at 8:30 p.m.
