Taharror
Taharror (Arabic: تحرر),[1] a political movement in Lebanon advocating for modernism, liberalism, and state sovereignty while emphasizing the importance of Lebanese national identity over sectarian divisions.[2] Founded in October 2023, following the 17 October Revolution protests, Taharror aims to position itself as the primary Shiite opposition group, challenging the dominance of Hezbollah and Amal.[3][4]
Founders[edit]
The movement was established by Ali Khalifé, Hadi Murad, and Muhammad Awad.[5]
Principles[edit]
Taharror operates on a set of ten fundamental principles:
- Political Differentiation: Rejecting sectarian reductionism.
- Establishing Order: Opposing obstructive practices.
- Diversity within National Unity: Objecting to parallel state systems.
- Comprehensive National Issues: Challenging the concept of a "resistance group"
- Religiosity as Personal Choice: Criticizing "Safavi Shiism".
- Jurisprudence Free from Ambition: Opposing the general guardianship of the jurist.
- Jurisprudence Free from Rigidity: Resisting subordination to established authorities.
- Flexible Jurisprudence: Objecting to injustices in personal status cases.
- Embracing Modernity: Advocating for contemporary issues beyond religious constraints.
- Restoring Lebanon's International Role: Opposing marginalization on regional and global platforms.
Taharror is committed to reforming Shiite politics in Lebanon, promoting individual freedoms, and improving Lebanon's standing in the international arena.[6]
