REPORT: Hundreds of women stage sit-in near Iranian embassy
Hussein Yaacoub, brother of ex-MP Hassan Yaacoub, was released on Wednesday on a bail of LL5 million ($3,315) after being arrested at the Beirut International Airport
 
Earlier, hundreds of women staged a sit-in near the Iranian embassy in Beirut’s Bir Hassan region to demand the release of Hassan and Hussein Yaacoub.
 
This comes as Ali Yaacoub, the brother of Hassan and Hussein Yaacoub arrived to the Iranian embassy to meet with the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammad Fatah Ali.

Yesterday, Mount Lebanon Investigative Judge Peter Germanos issued an arrest warrant for Hussein Yaacoub.

The judge issued the warrant after listening to Yaacoub’s testimony in court over the abduction of late Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi’s son, Hannibal Gaddafi.

General Security arrested on Monday Hussein Yaacoub at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport on the backdrop of the kidnapping of Hannibal Gaddafi.
 
Shortly after news broke out, Yaacoub’s mother was admitted to the Hotel Dieu Hospital.
 
Former MP Hassan Yaacoub was arrested last December during his questioning over the abduction of the son of ousted Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi.
 
The ex-lawmaker and three of his bodyguards were charged with abducting Hannibal, physically torturing him and failing to inform the concerned authorities of his capture.
 
Yaacoub's father was accompanying Imam Moussa al-Sadr and another man when they disappeared in Libya in 1978.
