(53,339 posts)3. French embassy & HRW deny reports that Bouvier also was evacuated
From Australian Broadcasting Corp.:
The French embassy in Beirut denied reports that Bouvier too had managed to cross the border into Lebanon.
"Edith Bouvier is still in Homs, unfortunately, and efforts (to evacuate her) are continuing," the embassy said.
Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch who is involved in the rescue efforts, also denied the reports.
"Reports that Edith Bouvier has made it out of Homs and is in Lebanon are FALSE," he tweeted.
