Report: March 14 to Resort to Demos to ‘Defend STL’
The March 14 forces leaderships will hold an extensive meeting next week as the Special Tribunal for Lebanon probing the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri published on Wednesday the indictment.
High-ranking sources told An Nahar newspaper on Thursday that the meeting will issue a “strict and critical” statement.
The STL published on Wednesday the indictment after it said there was enough evidence to try four Hizbullah members in the murder of Hariri.
An Nahar reported that the March 14 forces will deal with Hizbullah on the basis that it is “obstructing the course of justice, and protecting the suspects.”
An extraordinary meeting will follow the first meeting at Bristol Hotel where the conferees might agree on launching a multifaceted campaign that might reach the stage of protesting to “defend the STL, justice and to force (PM Najib) Miqati’s cabinet to fulfill Lebanon’s international commitments or resign.”
A high-ranking source told An Nahar on Wednesday that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s stance on the indictment rules out any cooperation with the STL.
The source noted the March 14 forces will move towards an offensive position to force a political de-facto and face Hizbullah’s policy.
