Naharnet - International Media Forum: Indictments to be Issued against Individuals, Not Entities - October 21, 2010


:

The first day of the International Media Forum organized by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon at its headquarters in the Dutch city of The Hague was characterized by the impression the participating journalists had after eight hours of seminars -- the indictment in the investigation into the murder of ex-PM Rafik Hariri and his companions is likely to be issued soon.
Despite the fact that the meetings, lectures and seminars were dedicated to the legal and technical aspects that govern the work of the STL, the participants' attention was drawn to a presentation about the anticipated indictment made by the head of the Prosecution Division of the Office of the Prosecutor.
He elaborately explained the indictment's characteristics in a manner signifying that its issuance has become imminent.
The participants at the International Media Forum in The Hague believe that the aforementioned presentation reflected the main points of the indictment's content, despite the fact that it was focused on the indictment's structure and apart from the details related to events, names and other facts.
They note that it is almost impossible for anyone to give such specifications without the other details being ready and almost finalized in terms of formulation.
