Now Lebanon - Ghanem: Lebanon cannot abandon STL - November 2, 2010









Lebanon cannot renounce its commitment to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), MP Robert Ghanem said on Tuesday after meeting with Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, according to the National News Agency (NNA).Tension is high in Lebanon after unconfirmed reports that the STL will soon issue its indictment for former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination. There are fears that should the court indict Hezbollah members, it could lead to clashes similar to those of the 2008 May Events – in which gunmen led by the party took over half of Beirut.On Thursday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on all Lebanese to boycott the STL and to end cooperation with its investigators.
