BEIRUT - Kataeb Party leader Amine Gemayel said that the outcome of the ruling of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is probing the case of the assassination of ex-Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, will be conducive to stability in Lebanon.
“The judicial path undertaken in the Hague will lead to the consolidation of stability after the verdict is issued,” Gemayel said during a meeting with a Beirut and Tripoli lawyers syndicate delegation on Sunday.
“I hope that the trial, after issuing the verdict and extracting the suspect from their environment, will positively affect national unity and the work of state institutions.”
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s trial of the four Hezbollah suspects originally indicted for the 2005 assassination of former Premier Rafiq Hariri will begin on January 16.
In June 2012 the UN-backed court indicted four Hezbollah members—Mustafa Badreddine, 52, Salim Ayyash, 49, Hussein Anaissi, 39, and Assad Sabra, 36—for Hariri’s February 14, 2005 murder.
Two years later, the tribunal filed a new indictment in the case, charging Hezbollah supporter Hassan Merhi with conspiracy and serving as an accomplice to the assassination.
