Hezbollah billboard taken down
The Windsor billboard
featuring the leader of Hezbollah was taken down this morning, according to
local CBC radio news.
This morning's Windsor Star has another interview
on the front page with the backers of the sign. They claim to represent over 700
individuals and admit their intention was to honour Hezbollah
fighters.
The Lebanese Canadian Coordinating Council issued a statement today strongly condemning the billboard for promoting terrorism.
The council is made up of the Canadian Lebanese Human Rights Federation, (CLHRF), Canadian Lebanese Free Patriotic Movement (FPM-Canada), Phoenician Club of Mississauga (PCOM), Canadian Phoenician Community Services Club (CPCSC), Canadian Lebanese Christian Heritage Club (CLCHC), and the World Lebanese Cultural Union (WLCU)-Canadian Chapter.
This afternoon the Windsor Star's website confirmed the pro-Hezbollah billboard has been replaced with an advertisement for a car dealership.
