In an exclusive interview with NOW Lebanon published on Tuesday, Lebanon First bloc MP Ammar Houri said that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) probe is a judicial matter that must be separated from political disputes in Lebanon.
“Prime Minister Saad Hariri, the Future bloc or the Future Movement will not take part of the STL debate [in Lebanon],” Houri said.
He also said that the STL’s pending indictment determines who gave the tribunal false testimonies in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“Those who anticipate the tribunal’s indictment would be intervening in its [work] and politicizing it,” Houri said.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah earlier this month said he doubted the STL’s credibility and called for forming a Lebanese commission to investigate alleged false witnesses used in the tribunal’s investigation into the murder of Rafik Hariri.
