Defense team submits a request for release in the "Threat to Hilal Hammoud" case The session is expected to hear the arguments of the public prosecutor.

The case of Lebanese singer Fadel Shaker has entered a new phase of judicial developments after the Lebanese Military Court rejected the bail requests submitted in the four cases against him, according to local media citing sources close to Shaker.

The sources added that Shaker’s lawyer has begun preparing new bail requests in an effort to bring the case again before the military court, particularly as hopes were pinned on positive rulings in two key cases: the “Insulting a Sister State” case and the “Possession of Military Weapons” case.

One of the most sensitive cases Meanwhile, the defense team is considering submitting an additional bail request in the “Threat to Hilal Hammoud” case, one of the most sensitive due to its connection to the security incidents that took place in the city of Sidon years ago.

In parallel, the Criminal Court in Beirut scheduled a new session on April 24 to continue the trial of Fadel Shaker alongside Ahmed Al-Assir and others in the attempted killing case of Hilal Hammoud in 2013, in the capital Beirut.

The session is expected to hear the arguments of the public prosecutor and defense lawyers, in a step that precedes the conclusion of the trial. Despite the rejection of the recent bail requests, Shaker and his legal team remain hopeful for a possible change in the judicial stance in the coming period, amid continued submission of new requests and close monitoring and anticipation from his fans and followers of the case.
