11/08/2010 A few days following the exceptional press conference delivered by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah in which he accused, backed by tangible data, the Israeli enemy of involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon reacted…
According to an official statement released by the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah called for the submission of all material held by Hezbollah that could help the investigations.
"In line with its mandate, the Office of the Prosecutor has requested the Lebanese authorities to provide all the information in possession of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah," the statement said."This request includes the video material that was shown on television during the press conference, as well any other material that would be of assistance to the Office of the Prosecutor in unveiling the truth," the statement added.
The Office of the Prosecutor also called on Sayyed Nasrallah "to use his authority" to facilitate the investigation. "Away from the spotlight, the Office of the Prosecutor is pursuing its investigation according to the highest standards of international justice, in a neutral and objective way. The Office of the Prosecutor is led by the evidence and nothing else," the press release said.
