Hassan Oleik

Hassan Oleik is a Lebanese journalist and news reporter.

Hassan Oleik (aka Hassan Allek or Hassan Alleik) is currently a journalist with the daily al-Akhbar Newspaper.

To note that On August 11, 2010, Military Intelligence called in Hassan Oleik for interrogation at the Defense Ministry for six hours about an article referring to an alleged conversation between Defense Minister Elias Murr and Lebanon’s army commander, Jean Kahwaji, concerning a suspected Israeli spy. Military Intelligence released Oleik after his interrogation.

This came as part of a series of detentions of journalists and bloggers by Military Intelligence, like the detention of urban planner Ismael Sheikh Hassan, and blogger Khodor Salemeh.

Murr had said, “Anyone attacking army officers by name or false information will be arrested and will come under investigation to find out who is behind him.”
