The man, later identified as Bassem Al-Sheikh Hussein, revealed that he wanted access to his deposits, which are estimated to be up to $210,000, in order to finance his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/63994\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">father\u2019s $50,000 treatment at a local hospital<\/a>.<br \/>  <br \/>  Hussein, whose image has been iconized by some on social media, is said to have released the hostages and turned himself in to the security forces after his brother received a payment of $35,000 from the bank after negotiations. He is currently in custody.<br \/>  <br \/>  Lawyers from the Depositors Association told Al-Jadeed that they were working on Hussein\u2019s case. The association released a statement yesterday stating that it does not support depositors taking their rights violently, but that banks had left them no choice. <br \/>  <br \/>  The Al-Sheikh Hussein family also blocked the Ouzai road on Friday morning in response to the arrest of their son. His mother told the assembled media that her son had sold their house and put all the money in the bank, stating that &#8220;they stole our money, Bassam is not a thief, the banks are.&#8221;<br \/>  <br \/>    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"ar\" dir=\"rtl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%85_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%AE_%D8%AD%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%86?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0628\u0627\u0633\u0645_\u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e_\u062d\u0633\u064a\u0646<\/a> \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062f\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0637\u0644 \u0628\u0627\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0634\u064a\u062e \u062d\u0633\u064a\u0646 \u062a\u0642\u0637\u0639 \u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0648\u0632\u0627\u0639\u064a \u0628\u0639\u062f \u0642\u0631\u0627\u0631 \u062a\u0648\u0642\u064a\u0641\u0647 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VoT4qCRTpd\">pic.twitter.com\/VoT4qCRTpd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hasan Harake (@HasanHarake3) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HasanHarake3\/status\/1558001955846381568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 12, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>  <br \/>  <br \/>  Protesters, mostly consisting of the Lebanese Depositors Association and citizens who\u2019s savings are also stuck in banks, quickly went down to stand in solidarity with Hussein yesterday.
