Future bloc MP Ammar Houri said on Monday that “[March 8] wants to fabricate a legal file for a matter that so far has [only] been raised in politics,” referring to the issue of unreliable testimonies to the international investigation into former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination
There is not yet any legal case or available evidence to support political allegations about unreliable witnesses, since such information will only be disclosed when the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) indictment is issued, Houri told As-Asharq radio station.
The MP also commented on Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s Thursday speech, saying that Lebanon cannot confront the UN or the constitution.
March 8 has called for the cabinet to task the Justice Council with investigating the issue of witnesses who gave unreliable testimonies to the international investigation. 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 tribunal issues its indictment in the case.
Nasrallah last week called on all Lebanese to boycott the STL and to end all cooperation with its investigators.
