The Lebanese Center for Human Rights (CLDH) is a local non-profit, non-partisan Lebanese human rights organization in Beirut that was established by the Franco-Lebanese Movement SOLIDA (Support for Lebanese Detained Arbitrarily) in 2006. SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

March 28, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Wahhab: I do not trust the STL or its work

Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab said he does not trust the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) or its work, the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Sunday.

“The STL should not be used as a political tool to sabotage Lebanon,” Wahhab said, adding that the STL’s work will affect state institutions in the country.

Wahhab’s remarks came after a meeting with Spanish Ambassador to Lebanon Juan Carlos Gafo. The two men discussed the Spanish contingent’s role in UNIFIL in South Lebanon, according to Wahhab.

Spain and other European states need to ensure the non-politicization of the STL, the Tawhid Movement leader told Gafo.

“The matter needs to be resolved before it is too late. UN member-states should increase pressure in a bid to forbid the US from using the STL as a tool [for its interests],” Wahhab said.
