Voice of the Generation: Statement Issued by Hizb ut Tahrir Condemning the Arrest of Party Members in Beirut While Distributing Publications Denouncing Israeli Attacks
In a return to the approach of arbitrary arrests, and the actions of security agencies without any legal basis, individuals - later identified as being from a security apparatus affiliated with the authority - on motorcycles arrested two young men from Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Lebanon while they were distributing a statement criticizing and attacking the strikes and the continued aggression of the Jews against Lebanon and its people, on this day, 10/17/2025, after Friday prayers in front of the Imam Ali Mosque in the Tariq al-Jadida area in the capital, Beirut!.
Does Lebanon, with its new era under the leadership of the former army commander and an International Court of Justice judge - who both promised a state of law - maintain the methods of bygone regimes?! What frightened them about Hizb ut Tahrir, is it denouncing the aggression of the Jews?! Or the party's talk about the authority's path in the course of normalization and surrender managed by America?! Or the party's call to confront the campaigns of the Jews and America in Lebanon and the region?! Or is it an attempt to silence voices in the capital, Beirut, despite the alleged changes in the authority's approach and its security leaders, who claim to be working to create a state of law?!
Everyone near and far knows that Hizb ut Tahrir will not be silenced by these methods, and the party's experiences are evident in Lebanon and its surroundings. The party will continue to confront the aggression against Lebanon and its people by the Jewish entity, and confront any manifestation of normalization or surrender to America's project.
We demand that the authority stop this arbitrariness against speaking the truth and political opinion, and we demand that it immediately and urgently release the brothers Hassan Abdul Hadi and Salah Dawood without any delay or procrastination. Hizb ut Tahrir is known for who it is, and its course of action in political work and struggle with words and arguments is well-known. The authority has no justification for arresting them except for the continuation of the same security system's approach, despite the change of some faces, without changing the actions and behavior!
Hizb ut Tahrir in the Wilayah of Lebanon, which represents a segment of Muslims, will not accept being an easy target and subject to the overreach of the security agencies, which overlook those who threaten the peace of Lebanon and its people with the logic of material force, and then come to prey on those who raise their voices with words, arguments, and political action.
{Indeed, those who have tortured the believing men and believing women and then have not repented - for them is the punishment of Hell, and for them is the punishment of the Burning Fire}.
