Harb: Trying False Witnesses is Achieved through Lebanese Judiciary

Labor Minister Butros Harb stressed on Monday that Hizbullah and its allies' demands to uncover the truth in the false witnesses case can be achieved through the Lebanese judiciary.

He said after holding talks with the Swiss Ambassador to Lebanon Ruth Flint that these demands can be achieved through the normal judiciary, and not the justice council.

Furthermore, he noted that there are methods to amend the criminal trial law, if this is the opposition's intention in the false witnesses case.

"This is not the way to solve matters, and if there is a false witness then we will demand his trial and punishment before anyone else," Harb added.
