_News_ | *Some justice for Liliane Cheaito: Prison sentence for husband who kept her from seeing her son* 👇 A court ruling issued Tuesday sentenced Hassan Hodroj to six months in prison for refusing to comply with a previous order requiring him to allow his wife, Liliane Cheaito, to see their son. Cheaito, who was injured in the Beirut port explosion on August 4, 2020, has been kept from her child ever since, with Hodroj citing pretexts linked to her injuries. A separate ruling issued several months earlier ordered that the child be handed over to Cheaito’s family. When the time came to implement the decision, the husband’s family had disappeared. It was later discovered that he had left the country and smuggled the child abroad, further defying the Lebanese judiciary and underscoring his determination to prevent the mother from seeing her son. Accordingly, yesterday’s ruling prompted authorities to circulate Hodroj’s name to airports and General Security, instructing them to arrest him if he returns to the country. Cheaito’s lawyer also urged “anyone with information about the child’s whereabouts, or the party to whom he was smuggled, to contact her or the relevant security forces.” Over the past five years, Cheaito was reunited with her son only a few times, thanks to public pressure and solidarity campaigns, and the long periods apart took a heavy toll on her psychological health. Having fallen into a coma after the Beirut port explosion, she had recently begun to recover following a long period of treatment, only to wake up and learn that her son had been taken far from her.
