Timeline

1938

George Hawi (جورج حاوي; born 5 November 1938 – 21 June 2005) was a Lebanese politician and former secretary general of the Lebanese Communist Party (LCP).

George Hawi was born in the village of Bteghrine, Lebanon on 5 November 1938 to a Lebanese family.

Although born into an Antiochian Greek Orthodox Christian family, Hawi professed to be an atheist.

He became active in student politics in his early years at university, participating in numerous strikes and demonstrations and in several popular movements.

1955

He joined the LCP in 1955 and became one of the main leaders of its Student League by the end of the decade.

In 1955 he became a member of the LCP which had been illegal in Lebanon.

1964

In 1964, he was imprisoned for his involvement in a strike against Lebanon's state-controlled tobacco manufacturer.

1967

Hawi was briefly expelled from the LCP in 1967 for calling for more independence from the policies of the Soviet Union.

1968

He rejoined the Party and was elected a member of its political bureau in the second and third congresses in 1968 and 1972.

1969

In 1969 he was again in prison for participation in a demonstration on 23 April in support of the Palestinian cause, and again in 1970 for his part in attacking an army detachment.

1976

At later stages of the war, the LCP under Hawi allied with Syria, which had entered Lebanon in 1976, but was to stay in the country for nearly 30 years.

1979

Hawi was elected as the general secretary of the Lebanese Communist Party after its fourth congress in 1979 – a position he kept until 1993 when he resigned.

He was the fourth general secretary of the party following Fuad Shemali, Farajallah el-Helou and Nicolas Shawi.

He was succeeded by Farouk Dahrouj.

During the Lebanese Civil War Hawi, who used the kunya-style nom de guerre "Abu Anis", established the Popular Guard, the LCP militia, which was aligned with the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) of Druze leader Kamal Jumblatt in its opposition to the Maronite-dominated government and Christian-backed militias.

1982

The LCP was also active in the guerrilla warfare against Israel and its proxy militia, the South Lebanon Army (SLA), in southern Lebanon, after the Israeli invasion in 1982.

During the invasion he created the Lebanese National Resistance Front together with Muhsin Ibrahim.

LNRF was commanded by Elias Atallah.

2000

He became a critic of the influence of Damascus on Lebanon late in his life, after having left the LCP in 2000.

2004

In 2004, he supported the foundation of the leftist Democratic Left Movement (DLM), that was against the Syrian presence in Lebanon and participated in the Independence Uprising of 2005.

Murdered journalist Samir Kassir was a prominent member and co-founder of this group.

2005

An outspoken critic of Syrian interference in Lebanese affairs, he was killed in 2005 by a bomb placed under the passenger seat of his car.

Lebanese people accused the Syrian government of assassinating him.

He was the stepfather of the Lebanese Armenian politician Rafi Madayan, who also has a stepson, Charbel Khalifeh Hachem.

In June 2005, Hawi claimed in an interview with Al Jazeera, that Rifaat al-Assad, brother of Hafez al Assad and uncle of Syria's current President Bashar al-Assad, had been behind the killing of Jumblatt.

George Hawi was assassinated on 21 June 2005 when a bomb planted in his Mercedes car was detonated by remote control, as he travelled through Beirut's Wata Musaitbi neighbourhood.

A nearly one-pound charge was placed under his seat, and was detonated by remote control.

His driver survived, but Hawi was mortally wounded in the blast.

Several sources including the March 14 Alliance and members of the Western media immediately blamed Syria for his killing and for the other explosions in the capital though a definitive culprit has yet to be found.

2011

In August 2011, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon informed members of Hawi's family that they had found a link between his murder and that of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri.

The STL had previously issued indictments against members of Hezbollah for the Hariri killing.
