The Special Tribunal for Lebanon's media office has denied that the court president Judge Antonio Cassese's visit to Beirut will be part of a regional tour.
Cassese is planning to visit Lebanon in the next few weeks, however, not as part of a tour to the region, the office said Friday.
The denial came after an STL judge reportedly told al-Mustaqbal newspaper that Lebanon is one leg of Cassese's tour that will take him to Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey.
Meanwhile, the STL's Public Affairs Office announced the appointment of a new press officer/spokesperson. Fatima el-Issawi has more than 15 years of work as investigative journalist reporting the Middle East for various international and Arab media organizations including Agence France Presse (AFP) and the BBC World Service, the office said in a statement on Friday.
Her expertise covers Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan, from where she worked as a correspondent. She also has a previous experience as a reporter for several Lebanese media outlets, it added.
