The release of the spy Fayez Karam after 20 months of jail has provoked the Lebanese to the extent the so called Hizbullah becomes under attack by the Lebanese press.
On April 4, 2012 the LBC's (Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation) reporter Bassam Abou Zeid visited the house of Tarek Rabaa's family located in Beirut, Tarik al Jadidah district to listen and to broadcast the family's opinion. Tarek's brother, the engineer Rabih RABAA has expressed the irrelevancy between both cases, "Fayez Karam was sentenced for 2 years for his collaboration with the Israelians, but Tarek is a political prisoner". Rabih has announced his objection on detaining his brother based on falsifications and he revealed that a political party, the so called Hizbullah, is making a pressure on the military court to keep Tarek in jail.
From another side, Tarek has been detained before the spy Fayez Karam who was sentenced for 2 years, yet Tarek's is still under trial in the military court based on falsifications and for political purposes to decredibilize the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
