Labor Minister Butros Harb on Friday suggested the Syrian judiciary to refer the file of a lawsuit filed by Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed against Lebanese politicians and other figures to the Lebanese judiciary to prosecute them if they were found guilty.
After the release of the indictment by the Lebanese judge, the file would be referred to cabinet to have the final say, Harb said.
His proposal came after March 8 forces conditioned attending a cabinet session on having the issue of false witnesses at the top of the agenda.
He said he made his proposal to President Michel Suleiman and will suggest it to Prime Minister Saad Hariri to find a way out of the Lebanese crisis and “revive constitutional institutions.”
