(Reuters) - The Association of Lebanese Banks announced on Friday that banks will start a strike from Monday due to what it described as "harmful and populist attitudes at their expense and the economy's expense." The statement said that the association "finds itself obliged to issue a general warning that is an invitation to everyone to deal seriously and responsibly with the current situation" in the sector. On the other hand, Lebanese Lilian Chaito managed on Thursday to see her son for the first time in two years, as she had been in the hospital since the explosion of the Beirut Port and was also waiting for judicial procedures in a prolonged family dispute with her husband. Lillian has not left the American University of Beirut Medical Center since August 4, 2020, which she entered that day, suffering bruises and bleeding after the huge explosion in the port, which occurred due to improper storage of chemicals. Lillian sustained a severe injury to the frontal lobe of her brain, causing her to become paralyzed and unable to speak. Two of her four sisters told Reuters that her husband, Hassan Ali Hodroj, prevented her from seeing their now two-year-old son, Ali, during her hospital stay. In 2020, Lillian's family filed a complaint with the religious authorities, seeking to compel the father to allow the son to visit his injured mother. Iqbal Shuaib, a lawyer representing the father, said that his client prevented his son Ali from going to the hospital because he was afraid that the child would see his mother in that condition. The parents are married. On Thursday, Ali visited his mother, Lilian, in hospital for the first time, following an order from the Shiite court in Lebanon, which handles personal status cases, including child custody. Nawal Shaito, Lillian's sister, said, "The court issued a final decision yesterday in our favour, and for weekly visits, and this morning, our father and our lawyer met with Mufti Qabalan." Sheikh Ahmed Qabalan is the Grand Mufti of the Shiites and the most prominent Shiite cleric in Lebanon. A photo released by the family showed Lillian on a hospital bed extending her left hand to the curly-haired boy in a black T-shirt, which the family said was two-year-old Ali. "She didn't take her eyes off him for a second," Nawal told Reuters, adding that she hoped the visits would represent a moral boost for Lilian, accelerating her recovery and recovery. Last month, Lillian uttered her first word in nearly two years and said "Mama," which her sisters understood as a plea to see her baby. The sisters told Reuters previously that Lillian represented the "tragic event" of the multiple crises in Lebanon, in which the consequences of a devastating explosion on grieving families combined with the daily suffering that many citizens face to survive and continue to live in a country reeling under the weight of a collapsed economy.
