BEIRUT: Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said Friday fears among Christians in Lebanon and the region are justified given the recent experiences of the sect in other countries in the Arab world.

"The concerns of Christians in Lebanon and in the region are far greater than other groups ... they have the right to be fearful given the regional situation,” he said.
