European Union Foreign Affairs chief Catherine Ashton reiterated the EU’s support for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).
“We are clear about our STL support and there is nothing more important than [this issue],” Ashton said in an interview with As-Safir newspaper published on Wednesday.
The Foreign Ministers of EU’s member-states called for not interfering in the work of the STL on Monday, Italian news agency AKI reported.
Tension is high in Lebanon amid unconfirmed reports that the STL will soon issue its indictment in former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination. It is rumored that the indictment will name Hezbollah members.
In a speech on November 11, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Hezbollah will "cut off the hand" of anyone who tries to arrest any of its members in the case.
