iloubnan - Siniora: indictment issuance ends an era of killing - June 30, 2011

Future Bloc Head Fouad Siniora considered the issuance of the indictment by Special Tribunal for Lebanon, an era of killing and impunity comes to an end, saying that the Tribunal path took a step towards consecrating rights and justice and contributes in putting a limit to the assassination crimes that have intimidated Lebanon's political life and the profound meaning of the State and liberties.

Amidst these historical moments, Siniora expressed feelings of solidarity with the families of fallen martyrs for their patience and tolerance, voicing full confidence in international justice. 

Siniora underlined that what has been issued today (Thursday) is an indictment rather than a verdict, and does neither entail a group nor a sect. Siniora said the Lebanese government should respect Tribunal decisions and cooperate with it in implementing its resolutions and measures.
