BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Families of Lebanese detainees in UAE prisons held a protest before the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to demand that officials push for the release of their family members, especially after the UAE announced the death of Lebanese citizen Gazi Ezzedine while in detention in the country.

Ezzedine's family publicly accused the UAE of having tortured their son while under interrogation.

During the protest, the participants stressed that the media campaigns would not cease before the return of Ezzedine's body and the release of the 14 detainees, who had not yet been charged or were indicted with, what the parents confirmed, were fabricated charges and were not allowed to appoint lawyers.

Ezzedine, who was 55 years old, has been detained in the UAE since mid-March. He died on May 4, while in detention. It is worth noting that his two brothers were also detained by UAE authorities.

Significantly, the family of the deceased was informed of his death five days after his passing. AFP reported that "the authorities [UAE] refused to hand over his body to his family for burial in Beirut."

According to Amnesty International, the authorities reached out to the deceased's son and asked him to come to identify his father's body but did not allow him to see anything other than his face.

The organization called on the UAE authorities to investigate the death of Ezzedine.

Amnesty International considered it "very suspicious that the authorities would allow Ghazi to be identified only by showing his face, as well as refusing to hand over the body to the family" in addition to asking the family to remain "discreet".
