Idris elaborated that Hizbullah's fighters will be tried in military courts: "They will not be treated following the conditions mentioned in the international law and which mention a trade between the prisoners of the parties at war". He noted: "We welcome all international parties wanting to be reassured about process undertaken during the trial". |
