Lebanon has lost today a defender of the press, Mohammed Baalbaki who marked by his writings the modern history of the country through the freedom of expression that distinguished him in the Arab Mashreq. The former president of the Press Order has left us, one of the pillars of the fourth power that accompanied the citizens and the country in the worst moments, expressing the demands and dreams of his fellow citizens through his articles which always reflected the truth.
Aouni Kaaki, president of the Press Order, and the council of the Press Order regret to announce the death of the former president Mohammed Baalbaki and present their condolences to all the press and journalists and to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
