STL Sets March 10 Session for Hariri Case Appeal Ruling

The Appeals Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) has issued a scheduling order for the pronouncement of the Appeal Judgment in the Rafik Hariri case.

The ruling will be announced in a public session on March 10 at 14.00 CET, the STL said in a statement.

The Trial Chamber had pronounced its Judgment in the case on August 18 and unanimously found Hizbullah operative Salim Ayyash “guilty beyond reasonable doubt of all counts charged against him in the amended consolidated indictment.” The Trial Chamber further found Hizbullah members Hassan Habib Merhi, Hussein Hassan Oneissi and Assad Hassan Sabra not guilty of all counts charged against them.

The Prosecution meanwhile filed an appeal regarding the rulings against Merhi and Oneissi as the Defencs Counsel for the two men each filed a Response Brief.
