“We categorically reject the false accusations that have been poured against him (…) They are slandering him and we firmly believe in the innocence of the Apostle of Jesus Christ (…) Although we do not agree with the arrest, given the presumption of innocence that it enjoys, we consider that the investigating authority will guarantee its security, “said Silem.
