International Beblos festival canceled The Young Lili project, scheduled for Friday, August 9, is a victory for the forces of intimidation, oppression and repression in a country where its state is absent, its sovereignty under -evaluated, its divided right and its economy in the process of collapsing.
The committee justified its decision to withdraw for security reasons, through death threats made on social networking sites, representatives of the Lebanese Ministry of the Interior, as well as priority concerns, such as the fact to interview for six hours the team of the victim to protest and censor his songs.
No matter the name of the ecclesiastical or ecclesiastical body in Byblos, insulted by the songs of the "Laila Project", which did not move in front of the half-naked foreign singers who played at Belles. One of them is the American Lana Del Ray, who carried the Virgin Mary in 2013,.

He was also insulted by the words of the "Layla Project" and came out with a bullet and crusades to restore the "dignity" of the church, which did not preserve its dignity from bishops who harbaded children, drug trafficking or badaulting women.
Where are the statements of the "Maronite Maronite Jebel" and the writings of Almstqoyen on Hamed Snow and his colleagues? Where are the interrogations of the Lebanese Ministry of the Interior on scandals of badual harbadment involving Lebanese bishops? Or is "Status" on Facebook more serious than abuse, trafficking and rape?
The blame is not attributed to a church or religious organization that wanted to oppose a music festival, but rather to an absent, corrupt state unable to protect the minimum standards of freedom of expression in Lebanon.
The prevention of the "Laila project" is the product of a culture of fear, domination, intimidation and censorship that is not limited to a sect, a party or a sect in Lebanon .

In addition to dozens of violations of liberties in Lebanon recorded over the last three years Recent.

If the group hangs on to a political party or a "leader" at a summer festival. Preventing it will not solve the problem of unemployment and will not promote a state unable to guarantee its citizens electricity, water and clean air.
The ban decision could be a triumph of authoritarianism, an honorary medal for the "Layla Project" in a connected and liberated world beyond the perimeter of Jbeil's festivals and much deeper than the halls of Interrogation of Lebanese posts. The level of support received by Hamed Snow and the group on the websites after the ban and the interest shown by people in listening to their songs testify to the stupidity of their opponents.
Lebanon after the prevention of singing "Laila Project" in Byblos is the completion of chaos project
The crisis and the greatest tragedy is the reality in Lebanon, with no economic or political vision to save the country. The game of identities and finger pointing outside or controlling a group will not save an economy on the verge of collapse and will not promote a state that takes into account the future of its citizens instead of cheering slogans and imaginary battles of chauvinism.
