Yusuf al-Hani
- ... that Yusuf al-Hani was executed by the Ottoman Empire after a letter he wrote to François Georges-Picot was found in the French consulate in Beirut during the First World War? " Many of these documents were very revealing letters signed by local personalities ... the war. Stanley Hollis, the American consul general in Beirut, advised Picot to destroy his files, but the latter chose not to and, instead, concealed them behind a false wall in the consulate ... Zalzal then related to the authorities the incident of the French consulate archives and their location ... One of those incriminated by these documents was Yusuf al-Hani, a Beirut notable. His name was found, among others, on a petition to the French government asking its aid in detaching Syria and Lebanon from the Ottoman empire and in giving them complete independence.3 On 26 February I916 Mrs Dorman noted in her diary that 'Mr Hani has been sent to the Martial Court in Aleih on charge of treason.'4 On 5 April I9I6 Mrs Dorman recorded the following in her diary: 'Mr Joseph Hani was hanged for treason in the Burj'" from: Ajay, Nicholas Z. (1974). "Political Intrigue and Suppression in Lebanon during World War I". International Journal of Middle East Studies. 5 (2): 156–157. ISSN 0020-7438.<
