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

July 29, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Friday’s Lebanese-Saudi-Syrian summit to address STL

As-Safir newspaper reported on Thursday that President Michel Sleiman, Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will discuss the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) during their summit on Friday, which will likely be held at the Baabda Presidential Palace.

The leaders will also talk about regional developments, the papers said.

Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani is also expected in Beirut Friday.

The visits are widely seen as an attempt to ease tensions after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said last week the STL will name Hezbollah members in its pending indictment into the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, which sparked fears a new sectarian conflict will break out.
