5 | Two Lebanese Facebook users found themselves sentenced to prison for posts they wrote on the social networking site. | Libane roa, mpampiasa Facebook, no voasazy an-tranomaizina noho ireo lahatsoratra nosoratany tao amin'ny vohikalanà tambajotra sosialy. |
6 | On October 6, 2015, political activist Michel Douaihy was released after being detained for nine days over a Facebook post. | Ny 6 Oktobra 2015, nafahana ilay mpikatroka mafana fo ara-politika, Michel Douaihy, taorian'ny nitànana azy nandritra ny sivy andro noho ny lahatsoratra nataony tao amin'ny Facebook. |
7 | In his post, Douaihy criticized what he described as special treatment afforded to Salafi fugitive Ahmad Al-Assir during his arrest. | Tao amin'ilay lahatsoratra nalefany, nitsikera ny nofaritany ho fikarakarana manokana natao tamin'i Ahmad Al-Assir, Salafista any am-pandosirana, nandritra ny fisamborana azy i Douaihy. |
8 | The Lebanese cleric Ahmad Al-Assir was arrested in Beirut International Airport on August 15, after being on the run for two years. | Nosamborina tao amin'ny Fiantsonam-piaramanidina Iraisam-pirenena tao Beirota, ny 15 Aogositra, ilay Libane mpitondra fivavahana, Ahmad Al-Assir, taorian'ny nitsoahany nandritra ny roa taona. |
9 | Al-Assir went into hiding after creating an armed militia in Saida in southern Lebanon and ordering his men to open fire on a Lebanese Army checkpoint in June 2013. | Niditra tao anaty fiainana an-tsokosoko i Al-Assir taorian'ny namoronany milisy iray mitam-piadiana tany Saida, any amin'ny faritra atsimon'i Libanona, ary nandidiany ireo lehilahiny hitifitra ny toerana fisavan'ny Miaramila Libane, ny volana Jona 2013. |
10 | Al-Assir tried to escape to Nigeria via Cairo, using fake Palestinian identity papers. | Nanandrana ny handositra tany Nizeria mandalo an'i Kairo i Al-Assir, tamin'ny fampiasàna taratasy Palestiniana hosoka. |
11 | Many activists criticised how Al-Assir was “pampered” during his arrest, and not beaten up the way activists are sometimes abused. | Maro ireo mpikatroka mafàna fo nitsikera ny fomba “nikenakenàna” an'i Al-Assir nandritra ny fisamborana azy, sy tsy mba voadaroka sahala amin'ny fanararaotana atao matetika amin'ireo mpikatroka mafana fo. |

13 | Both images taken from Facebook. | Samy nalaina tao amin'ny Facebook ireo sary roa. |
14 | The General Security office was the official governmental body that arrested Douaihy, they charged him with incitement of sectarianism, libel, and defamation. | Ny biraon'ny Filaminana Ankapobeny no sampana ofisialin'ny governemanta nisambotra an'i Douaihy, nampangainy ho mihantsy fifandonan'ny sekta, fanosoram-potaka, ary fanalam-baràka, izy. |
15 | These are the same charges that led to the sentencing of journalist Mohammad Nazzal of Al-Akhbar newspaper. | Fiampangana mitovy amin'ireo koa no nanasaziana ilay mpanao gazety, Mohammad Nazzal, an'ny gazety Al-Akhbar. |
16 | Nazzal was sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of US $633. | Nosaziana enim-bolana am-ponja i Nazzal ary handoa lamandy 633 dolara Amerikana. |
17 | Although Douaihy was released, he was indicted under Article 386 of the Lebanese penal code that criminalizes libel and defamation against the president, other public officials, and private individuals. | Na navotsotra aza i Douaihy, nomelohana teo ambanin'ny Toko faha-386 amin'ny làlana ady heloka bevava Libane izy, izay manameloka ny fanosoram-potaka sy fanalam-baràka ny filoham-pirenena, ireo tomponandraki-panjakana hafa, ary ireo olon-tsotra. |
18 | Douaihy was sentenced to two months in prison. | Nahazo sazy an-tranomaizina roa volana i Douaihy. |
19 | However, this period was substituted by the nine days he had already spent in jail and a fine of USD $200. | Kanefa, efa nosoloina ilay sivy andro nijanonany tany am-ponja sy lamandy 200 dolara Amerikana io fotoana io. |

22 | Supporters also used the Article 13 hashtag, in reference to the Article 13 of the Lebanese constitution that guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of the press “within the limits established by law.” | Nampiasa ny tenifototra Toko faha-13 ihany koa ireo mpanohana, entina milaza ilay Toko faha13 ao amin'ny lalampanorenana Libane izay manome antoka ny fahalalahana miteny sy ny fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovana gazety “ao anatin'ireo fetra napetraky ny lalàna.” |
23 | Lebanon's current press law (written in 1962) offers no explicit protections for journalists or bloggers. | Tsy manome fiarovana mazava ireo mpanao gazety sy ireo mpitoraka bilaogy ny lalànan'ny fanaovana gazety ankehitriny ao Libanona (nosoratana ny taona 1962). |
24 | Along with the online campaign, Douaihy's friends and family protested in front in his home town Zogherta, in the north in Lebanon. | Miaraka amin'ilay hetsika amin'ny Aterineto, nanao hetsi-panoherana teo anoloan'ny tanàna nahaterahany, tao Zogherta, any avaratry Libanona, ireo namana sy fianakavin'i Douaihy. |

32 | Nazzal tweeted about the sentencing: | Nandefa izao bitsika izao i Nazzal momba ilay fanasaziana: |
33 | My lawyer told me today, that the penal court in Beirut sentenced me in absentia to 6 months in jail… FINE! :) | Nolazain'ny mpisolovava ahy androany fa nanasazy ahy, tsy teo anatrehako, enim-bolana am-ponja ny fitsaràna ady heloka ao Beirouth… TSARA! |
34 | Journalists and bloggers in Lebanon and the Middle East expressed on social media their support to Nazzal: | Naneho ny fanohanany an'i Nazzal tamin'ny media sosialy ireo mpanao gazety sy mpitoraka bilaogy tany Libanona sy Afovoany Atsinanana: |
35 | I am a journalist, regardless of my opinion towards my colleague Mohammed Nazzal's status, I refuse oppression of speech, and I demand that the lawsuit filed against my colleague be dropped as soon as possible. | Mpanao gazety aho, tsy ijerena ny hevitro mikasika ny nahazo ny mpiara miasa amiko Mohammed Nazzal, tsy ekeko ny faneriterena ny fitenenana, ary mangataka ny hanalàna faran'izay haingana ny fitoriana ny mpiara miasa amiko aho. |
36 | And for the assurance of his freedom to express his opinion, without exposing him to any prosecution. | Ary ny hanomezana azy tsy hisy arakaraka ny fahalalahany miteny ny heviny, tsy hahatonga azy hiatrika fanenjehana sy famoretana indray. |
37 | If a mere social media post will lead to one's prosecution, then let us all be prosecuted. | Raha toa ka mitondra any amin'ny fanenjehana ny fandefasana lahatsoratra tsotra amin'ny media sosialy, aleo aza izahay rehetra henjehina daholo. |
