BEIRUT: Future Movement bloc MP Atef Majdalani accused Tuesday Hezbollah of protecting suspects wanted in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“Hezbollah is shielding those people under its care,” Majdalani told a local radio station, a reference to the four Lebanese suspects , believed to be members of Hezbollah, who were indicted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon on June 30 in the assassination of Hariri.
Majdalani said the Future Movement would wait and see whether Prime Minister Najib Mikati’s Cabinet would commit to U.N. Security Council resolution 1757 - the resolution that established the U.N.-backed court in 2007 - and the protocol agreement signed between the tribunal and the Lebanese government.
“We will see whether the government will run away from its obligations toward the international tribunal,” said Majdalani.
He said the Future Movement as well as the March 14 coalition would “accept nothing less than the truth and justice.”
Majdalani also said the March 14 was not against a trial by absentia.
