(Washington, DC)  – Congressman Charles W. Boustany, Jr., M.D. (R-South Louisiana), released the following statement commemorating the 7^th anniversary of Lebanon’s Cedar Revolution:

“Seven years ago, over 1 million Lebanese took to the streets of Beirut to seek freedom and justice in what became known as the Cedar Revolution. Due to these brave men and women demanding peace and stability, the Syrian Army withdrew from Lebanon after 30 years of occupation.
