Remembering the Ehden Massacre: Honoring the Victims and Forgiveness in Zgharta

Representative Jamil Al-Sayyed tweeted on his Twitter account: June 13, 1978, today Zgharta commemorates the Ehden massacre in which Suleiman Franjieh’s family was martyred, from his father Tony to his mother Vera and his younger sister Jihan and 28 young men from Zgharta, and he was able to take revenge during the time of the Syrian presence. But he did not, but forgave them and they did not forgive him.

He added, “The dead man was satisfied, but the murderer was not.”

And he concluded, “Our heartfelt condolences to Suleiman Franjieh, his family, and all the people of Zgharta.”
