Lebanon: Former Christian warlord freed after 11 years

Notorious anti-Syrian Christian warlord Samir Geagea was released today after 11 years in prison, his spokeswoman said, in what marked the latest reconciliatory step in civil war-scarred Lebanon in the wake of the recent collapse of Syrian military dominance.

Antoinette Geagea, spokeswoman for the banned Christian Lebanese Forces militia which Geagea headed during the 1975-1990 civil war, said her relative “is a free man” as of this morning.
