Hezbollah’s insistence on transferring the “false witnesses file” to the Justice Council violates “all legal and judicial norms,” National Liberal Party leader MP Dori Chamoun told NOW Lebanon on Thursday.
March 8 politicians have called for the cabinet to task the Justice Council with investigating the issue of witnesses who gave unreliable testimonies to the international investigation into former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.
Some March 14 figures have said that the regular judiciary should handle the issue, while others have argued that unreliable testimonies cannot be investigated until the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) issues its indictment.
Disregarding or violating the law is nothing new for Hezbollah, Chamoun said.
He also questioned how the case can be investigated when all the relevant evidence is in the custody of the STL, and added that “it has become obvious that the STL… is absolutely unaffected by these fabrications.”
The Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) is a party whose rhetoric is based purely on FPM leader MP Michel Aoun’s interests, he also said, adding that if the Future Movement were to support Aoun for the presidency, his language would change completely and he would consider the Future movement “one of the most beautiful and best political groups.”
