Lebanon’s best-known pop band, Mashrou’ Leila, is facing death threats from local Christian groups who say one of its songs is 'blasphemous.' - NBCOUT
Amnesty International's Middle East director of research, Lynn Maalouf, called for the Ministry of Interior to protect the concert and said the authorities “have a responsibility to take the necessary measures to ensure the band is protected from this spiteful campaign, and to ensure that the concert not be canceled for security considerations.”
Hala Saghbini, media adviser to the Lebanese Interior Ministry, told NBC News that guitarist Firas Abou Fakher and drummer Carl Gerges, the two band members currently in Beirut, were detained Wednesday and “were released.” “Mashrou Leila played their first major gig at Byblos Festival in 2010 as headliners when they still were architecture students at American University of Beirut,” Baz wrote in a statement. “They played Byblos again on 5 August 2016 and did perform Djinn, released in 2015. They have been performing this song since in many other festivals in Lebanon .”
