Jisr: We Refuse to be Threatened with War -- STL is a Legal Institution, Not a Political Forum | |

He told the daily Asharq al-Awsat Saturday in response to Marada movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh's recent statements: "There are those who are warning of a war in Leb if an indictment is issued and if the tribunal continued its work." "Against who are they threatening a war? Should the Lebanese comply with their will or else be faced with war? We reject this reasoning because no one in Leb or abroad has power over the STL or can change its course," he noted. The MP added: "No one can demand the tribunal to alter its convictions ... this in itself is politicization of the court and its functioning. The tribunal is a legal institution and not a political forum." | |
