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.

July 17, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Arslan: STL being used to settle political issues

Lebanese Democratic Party leader MP Talal Arslan said on Saturday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is being used to settle political issues that Lebanon has nothing to do with, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.

“There are Arab and Western countries involved in this conspiracy against Lebanon,” he added.

This comes after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said during a speech on Friday that an indictment by the STL is an Israeli project designed to target Hezbollah by stirring up sectarian strife in Lebanon.

Arslan also commented on the crackdown on the Israeli espionage network, saying that the Lebanese should protect both the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and the Resistance because they maintain the country’s stability.

This comes after the arrest of three Alfa telecom employees since June on suspicions of having spied for Israel.
