A Lebanese film director who visited Israel to make a movie has been ordered to appear before a military tribunal. Details
here. Lebanon is among the countries that continues to use military courts to try civilians, in violation of human rights norms. The filmmaker said:
"I am profoundly hurt. I came back to Lebanon with a prize from Venice. The Lebanese police have authorised the broadcast of my film (The Insult). I have no idea who is responsible for what has happened. We will find out at court who is behind this affair."
