Houri: Lebanon has Conceded All Privileges to STL

Mustaqbal MP Ammar Houri noted that voting on the false witnesses file before Cabinet means that the matter is open for discussion, which is a step back in the issue, he told Al-Liwa Wednesday.

He said: "The other team's insistence to tackle the false witnesses file at the justice council reflects their intention to obstruct the Special Tribunal for Lebanon."

He added that the March 14 forces will refuse this proposal, stressing that Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar's report on the false witnesses file was very clear in defining the justice council's jurisdiction.

"Cabinet cannot commit a legal and constitutional mistake," Houri emphasized.
