SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

July 25, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Khalil: FPM rejects STL indictment before its issue

Change and Reform bloc MP Youssef Khalil told NOW Lebanon said that the Free Patriotic Movement – which he belongs to – rejects the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)’s indictment before it is even issued.

“The STL is a political tool… the FPM does not believe the tribunal is credible,” Khalil said.

He also said that the STL’s pending indictment aims at inciting sedition in Lebanon.

“The FPM has information pointing that those involved in the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri had regional and international aims,” Khalil added.

The STL is probing the 2005 assassination of Hariri. There are reports that some Hezbollah members could be named in the indictment.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah recently accused the STL of being an “Israeli project” designed to target the Resistance by stirring up sectarian strife in Lebanon.
