Now Lebanon - Giving up on Rafik Hariri’s case is out of question, says Hariri - September 29, 2010








Following its Wednesday meeting, the Future Movement issued a statement that Prime Minister Saad Hariri said during the meeting that “giving up on the blood of [his father], late former PM Rafik Hariri, is out of the question.”
Hariri reiterated his commitment to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)—which is investigating Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination—adding that his support comes through patience and that the Future Movement should not be dragged into turmoil, the statement added.
The PM also voiced the importance of maintaining the current Lebanese-Syrian relations, adding that the ties serve the interests of both countries.
The Future Movement also rejected any verbal attacks against state institutions, including the judiciary, the Lebanese army and the Internal Security Forces (ISF), the statement alo said.

Tension is currently high in Lebanon as some March 8 coalition politicians are calling for the abolition of the STL, while Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and former head of General Security Jamil as-Sayyed publicly attacked the government.
