President Michel Sleiman and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt continue to reject the idea of taking the “false witnesses file” to a cabinet vote, Al-Hayat newspaper quoted an anonymous source close to Sleiman and Jumblatt as saying in its Monday edition.
The paper also quoted an anonymous March 8 source as saying that Sleiman could allow some discussion of the issue during Wednesday’s cabinet session and then postpone it to another meeting.
The “false witnesses file” tops the agenda of the cabinet session set for this Wednesday. 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 in the case.
