BEIRUT: Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rai said Monday he supported the work of the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, provided that it was not “misleading.”
Speaking on the third day of his pastoral visit to the Maronite parish in Jbeil, Rai said: “We support justice and reaching the truth [in Hariri’s assassination] through the international tribunal provided that it is not misleading.”
He underlined the significance of peace “which we can attain only through the truth, especially in the state, society and dialogue.”
“No one can go to dialogue and build the state if he thinks that he has the absolute truth,” Rai said.
