July 22, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Nasrallah’s speech will be responded to in a similar tone, Sayegh says

Minister of Social Affairs Selim Sayegh said that if Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s upcoming speech later on Thursday is going to be demagogic, then it will be met with a similar response, the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Thursday.

Nasrallah is expected to discuss the circumstance behind the 2008 May events as well as the issues of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and Israeli espionage in Lebanon. The Hezbollah chief sparked controversy when he said on Friday that the STL is an Israeli project.

Media outlets have reported that the tribunal might indict Hezbollah members for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
