Deputies Jbeil Ziad al-Hawat, Simon Abi Rumia and Mustapha al-Husseini made the following statement: "On the basis of the imperatives of the public interest and in accordance with the provisions of the Lebanese constitution and laws, to preserve the image of Jbeil and its role based on respect for holiness, values and principles, and the spiritual, judicial and security references to the planned concert of the "Layla Project" in the Beblos festivals on the evening of August 9, and the complications that ensue, the deputies of Jbeil wished that the organizing committee cancels the ceremony.
We have followed the deputies of the case and the people who have been with them since day one, and we have made the necessary contacts to move away from populism and defamation on the basis of our adherence to religious shrines and our retention in the respect for liberties.
On this occasion, we emphasize the historical connection between Jbeil and culture and art, as well as our conviction that it is necessary to maintain this link, to maintain it and to develop it. "
