Future Movement Secretary General Ahmad Hariri said in an interview published on Sunday that talk of transferring the issue of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to national-dialogue sessions again contradicts the decisions of previous sessions.
Hariri told An-Nahar newspaper that previous national-dialogue sessions approved of the STL.
He added that attempts to transfer the STL issue to national dialogue sessions is an attempt to evade legal and judicial mechanisms.
Before bringing down Saad Hariri’s cabinet in January, Hezbollah had been pressing him to disavow the STL, which is probing the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri and likely to implicate members of the Shia group.
The new Lebanese cabinet was formed last week after almost five months of deliberations between the March 8 parties. The March 14 coalition had announced it will not take part in Najib Mikati’s government.
