A group of women charged at STL investigators at a Beirut gynecology clinic in Dahiyeh on Wednesday morning and grabbed a briefcase from them. A Hezbollah source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told NOW Lebanon afterward that his party was not in any way linked to the incident.
Tension is high in Lebanon after unconfirmed reports that the STL will soon issue its indictment for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. There are fears that should the court indict Hezbollah members, it could lead to clashes similar to those of the 2008 May Events.
March 8 coalition politicians are calling for the abolition of the tribunal.
“Investigations were not going to go any further than asking for phone numbers,” said Jarrah, adding that “[Clinic owner] Doctor Iman Charara had already called the Doctors Syndicate for approval before allowing the investigators to come to the clinic.”
Jarrah also said that “Prime Minister Saad Hariri is in a strong position inside and outside the parliament and is in no way in a position of compromising as some imagine.”
