Iloubnan - March 14 adamant to face any vote against STL funding, October 19, 2011

March 14 warned the government that what is labeled as "an outlet for voting against funding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon" would not pass over the Lebanese. In its weekly regular meeting on Wednesday in Achrafieh, the March 14 secretariat issued a statement warning the government, especially those pretending support for the STL, that they would deem the Mikati-led cabinet as collapsed unless paying STL dues was approved. The statement renewed an attack on Hezbollah as overtaking a coup by flouting the Lebanese Constitution and Lebanon's international obligations, especially UN Security Council resolution 1757, and turning down by arms' force any inter-Lebanese relation or Lebanese-Arab one. Accordingly, March 14 vowed to continue on its struggle against what it called Hezbollah's despotism. March 14 eventually voiced a denouncing note regarding the performance of the Syrian embassy in Lebanon, as, according to the statement, "this embassy is kidnapping any supporter for the Syrian public in Lebanon." March 14 thereby hailed the Internal Security Forces director, General Ashraf Rifi, who unveiled the truth in this concern.
