Lokman Mohsen Slim (Arabic: لقمان محسن سليم; 17 July 1962 – 4 February 2021) was a Lebanese Shiite publisher, political activist and commentator,[1][2][3] who promoted a Culture of Remembrance to cope with the many past and present conflicts of Lebanon and the whole region. Slim was known to be a prominent critic of Hezbollah[4] (as well as all other sectarian parties).[5] He was found shot to death in his car in Hezbollah-dominated southern Lebanon.[6] Many people, including Slim's sister have alleged Hezbollah to have committed the assassination, a charge that Hezbollah has denied.[7]
