Future Movement official Mustapha Allouch told the Voice of Lebanon (VOL) radio station on Wednesday that postponing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)’s indictment until after September might defuse tension in Lebanon, but added that the indictment will be issued eventually.
STL Prosecutor General Daniel Bellemare told NOW Lebanon in an exclusive interview Tuesday that the tribunal will not file in September an indictment in the case of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Allouch said that he wants all Lebanese territory to be arms-free, starting with Beirut.
“Disarming parties by force is impossible in Lebanon,” Allouch said, asking, “What are the Resistance’s arms [being used for] in Beirut?”
Clashes shook the Bourj Abi Haidar district in the Lebanese capital on August 24, pitting supporters of Hezbollah against those of Sunni outfit Al-Ahbash—also known as the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects.
