“Everything that has been said about the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) has been political [in motivation],” Future bloc MP Ziad Qadiri said on Sunday.
“If there is any politicization of the STL, it is from [March 8’s side],” Qadiri told Future News Television, adding that “[the STL] will submit its indictment based on legal and international standards.”
“All rumors about the STL giving orders to the Lebanese people aim to [terrify] them.”
Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammad Raad said on Friday that STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare’s requests for information from Lebanese authorities “are the greatest operation of tutelage and piracy that modern Lebanon has witnessed.
The Daily Star newspaper reported on Wednesday that four ministers have not complied with information requests from Bellemare.
PM-designate Najib Mikati – appointed following the collapse of Saad Hariri’s government due to a dispute over the STL - on Thursday evening voiced surprise at the STL’s information requests, adding that he fears efforts to obtain a UN Security Council resolution to force compliance with the court.
Mikati is currently working to form his cabinet.
