The Lebanese Center for Human Rights (CLDH) is a local non-profit, non-partisan Lebanese human rights organization in Beirut that was established by the Franco-Lebanese Movement SOLIDA (Support for Lebanese Detained Arbitrarily) in 2006. SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

Now Lebanon - March 14 aims for justice, says Majdalani - July 01, 2011

Future bloc MP Atef Majdalani said on Friday that the opposition aims for justice and truth.
“[There can be] no stability without justice, and no justice without the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL),” he told Voice of Lebanon (93.3) radio.
“The cabinet, Hezbollah and Syria should positively address the STL since the opposition has no will to start domestic strife.”
He also said that “if the cabinet does not [responsibly] deal with the STL, then we will attempt to bring down the government.”
The Future Movement MP added that March 14 will also “hold movements” that back the STL’s indictment, without elaborating further.
The UN-backed international court on Thursday issued its indictment and arrest warrants for the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri, with members of Hezbollah reportedly among those named.
Al-Manar television dismissed the court as "politicized" and said it bore the mark of being at the service of intelligence agencies.
The Iranian- and Syrian-backed Shia group has warned it would "cut off the hand" of anyone who attempts to arrest party members linked to the February 14, 2005 seaside bombing that killed Hariri and 22 others.
