SOLIDA has been active since 1996 in the struggle against arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance and the impunity of those perpetrating gross human violations.

Naharnet - Hbeish: Halting Article on Funding STL and Withdrawing its Judges will Not Stop its Work - September 29, 2010

Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc MP Hadi Hbeish noted on Tuesday that the intimidation and pressure surrounding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will not yield any results.
He stressed: "Halting the article on funding the STL and withdrawing the Lebanese judges from it will not stop its functioning."

"The March 8 ministers, who admit each time that a decision has been approved without them paying attention to it, are not fit to represent us in government and they should leave their places to others," he stated.

"They are informed on the 2010 state budget plan, which includes an article on funding the tribunal and they are bound by the ministerial statement of the national unity government," the MP noted.

"They have frankly admitted that they have turned against the ministerial statement and they should therefore, withdraw from Cabinet because it's unacceptable that a minister vote for the statement and then announce that he opposes its implementation," Hbeish noted.
