Democratic Party leader MP Talal Arslan said Saturday that Israel is involved in every aspect of the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, pointing out that there are differences in the English and French versions of the texts detailing the duties of the tribunal.
Such a discrepancy, he said during a press conference, hides "hidden evil intentions" that will thwart justice because the tribunal will be employed to achieve regional and international interests.
He added that Israel is being used as a main source of information in the investigation "which is a horrible development."
In addition, the MP condemned the tribunal for not prosecuting false witnesses, saying: "This joke affirms the court's political quality, and eliminates its legal aspects."
"A national stand is necessary in order to confront the plan to create strife in Lebanon, where the Lebanese should demand a rephrasing of the tribunal's work starting with carrying out investigations with Israelis," Arslan stressed.
