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 - Sayyed Hussein: STL remains even if cabinet resigns - September 18, 2010

In an exclusive interview with NOW Lebanon published on Saturday, Minister of State Adnan as-Sayyed Hussein said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will remain, even if the Lebanese cabinet were to resign.

“The STL will remain because it is supervised by the UN,” Sayyed Hussein said.

“The criticisms of Prime Minister Saad Hariri by some parties do not benefit the government or the people,” he added.

Former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed said on Sunday that “[PM Hariri] should take a lie detector test to prove he did not support or fund false witnesses in the STL,” investigating the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri, and vowed to take his rights “with his own hands.”

Sayyed Hussein called for fostering domestic stability to ensure that the work of state institutions be carried out.
