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.

May 3, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Wahhab deems STL and UN “a big lie”

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and UN institutions “are a big lie” working for US interests, said Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab in an interview with the Kuwaiti newspaper An-Nahar published Monday. The international court has a political agenda that targets Syria and Hezbollah, he added.

He said he wished President Michel Sleiman would take the initiative to improve Lebanese-Syrian relations, adding he does not expect the toppling of the national-unity cabinet. He stated however that new alliances would surface “to correct past mistakes.”

He commented on the municipal elections that started in Mount Lebanon on Sunday, saying he and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt reached a general understanding. He did not elaborate further.
