The Trial Chamber of the
Special Tribunal for Lebanon scheduled a hearing on June 13 to “hear arguments
on the jurisdiction of the STL and the legality of its creation,” a statement
issued by the STL reported.
The moves comes after the
defense counsel representing the four Hezbollah members accused of
assassinating former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005 “filed motions
recently challenging the legality and jurisdiction of the tribunal.”
“In their motions, the
defense argued that the STL was established unlawfully and applies justice
selectively.”
The statement added that
prosecution has until June 6 “to file a response to the trial in the case.”
