Future bloc MP Bassem as-Shab said on Thursday that the Hezbollah-led March 8 parties are “politicizing” the issue of witnesses who gave unreliable testimonies to the international commission that was investigating form Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.
“The issue is being politicized and used for ulterior motives,” the MP told the Free Lebanon radio station.
Shab also said that those indicted by the tribunal earlier this month will be tried in absentia.
“The suspects’ trial will be in absentia because it is clear that they will not turn themselves in or be handed over [by anyone].”
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon indicted four members of Hezbollah in connection to Rafik Hariri’s murder, but the Shia group ruled out their arrest.
