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

Now lebanon - Habib slams Bassil, says STL will not be abolished - September 29, 2010








Lebanese Forces bloc MP Farid Habib issued a statement on Wednesday slamming Energy Minister Gebran Bassil—who is also a member of the Free Patriotic Movement—adding that “neither the [Lebanese] Republic will fall, nor will the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) be abolished.”
“Bassil and [Loyalty to the Resistance bloc] MP Nawwaf Moussawi have reached a level of sick nervousness that will not lead them anywhere,” he added.
Moussawi said last Friday that Future Movement members who are committed to the STL and its indictment should be “scared, and not just worried.” On Sunday Bassil said that there can be no return to a “policy that isolated” Lebanese Christians, after LF leader Samir Geagea gave a speech on Saturday, during which he called on young FPM members to work with the March 14 alliance.
Habib criticized Bassil’s statement, saying that Bassil was driven by the money he is being paid to discard the struggle of the Christian parties during the civil war.
