Assy added that he wrote his famous tweets “because he felt provoked after the army was attacked in Arsal.”
“My brother is a soldier, and I felt that the president was not playing his role to protect the army. On the contrary, he sent people to negotiate with the army’s attackers. I am not saying insults are the right way to go, but why insist on trying me when people who are publicly inciting murder and bloodshed of the innocent are left alone? Why is the government afraid of the tweets of Ahmad al-Assir and Fadel Shaker, but is acting all tough on my tweets? Why is the president preoccupied with my case, while he has much bigger fish to fry that is of concern to the Lebanese? I am an ideal citizen. I don’t even have a speeding ticket, and I have never broken the law. I will not accept to be imprisoned in the same cell as terrorist bombers,” Assy stated.
