Hariri Remembering Shatah: We Will Remain Loyal to March 14's Unity

Head of the Mustaqbal Movement MP Saad Hariri hailed on Sunday on the second anniversary of the assassination of his advisor, Mohammed Shatah, his “friend's open mind, deep humanity, and honest patriotism.”

He said via Twitter: “We will remain loyal to the unity of the March 14 coalition that Shatah had worked for.”

“We will continue to remain committed to justice for him and all the martyrs of the Cedar Revolution,” he added.

“Shatah was clear in his vision, hard working in his mission, loyal to his country, and a genius in defending sovereignty, democracy, and national unity,” he stressed.

“On this day, I miss Shatah, the friend, brother, and comrade,” Hariri added.

“We should be inspired from his insistence on dialogue, to mend bridges and derive solutions to restore our nation on the path of the state and dignity,” said the lawmaker.

Shatah was killed in a bombing in downtown Beirut on December 27, 2013.

Hariri had accused in the wake of the blast the criminals as being the same ones who assassinated his father, former PM Rafik Hariri, on February 14, 2005.

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon tackling the 2005 murder has accused five Hizbullah members of being behind the crime.
