Maronite Patriarch Requests Retraction of Lawsuits Against Asmar

The Maronite League and the Maronite Diaspora Institute on Wednesday retracted the lawsuits filed against the resigned head of the General Confederation of Lebanese Workers, Bechara Asmar.

The move came upon the instructions of Maronite Patriarch Bechara al-Rahi, MTV channel reported.

Asmar, who was caught mocking the late Patriarch Emeritus Nasrallah Sfeir in a video leaked earlier this month, has requested a meeting with Al-Rahi, MTV has learned.
