Maronite League cancels General Labor Union Head's membership

The Maronite League decided on Saturday to cancel the membership of Head of the General Labor Union, Bechara Asmar, as well as to sue him over his remarks insulting late patriarch Cardinal Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir.

The decision was taken unanimously during an urgent meeting for the League's executive board, called forth by its president, former lawmaker Neemtallah Abi Nasr.

The League also called to cease circulating the leaked footage, in which Asmar can be heard offending the late prelate.
