Hajjar on STL Verdicts: Mustaqbal Wants Truth Not Revenge

There are “strict instructions” from al-Mustaqbal Movement to prevent “any reactions on the ground” over the verdicts that will be issued Tuesday by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in the case of the 2005 assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri, a Mustaqbal MP said.

“We won't allow the verdict to drag the country into any internal troubles,” Hajjar told al-Jadeed TV.

“Mustaqbal wants truth, not revenge,” he said, while noting that “everyone should know that they can’t have impunity and the post-August 17 era will be different.”

He also pointed out that the the rulings have nothing to do wit the issue of the new government.
