On

2011. They threaten to provoke a civil war if we want to try the criminals. It
is the wolves law in Lebanon.
News from different medias :
1 - On 30 June 2011.Special Tribunal For
Lebanon. Confirmed indictment submitted to the Lebanese authorities
Leidschendam 30 june 2011 - The Pre-Trial Judge, Daniel Fransen, confirmed an
indictment relating to the assassination of Rafiq Hariri and others on 28
June 2011. The indictment and accompanying arrest warrant(s) were
transmitted to the Lebanese authorities on 30 June 2011. This announcement
follows a declaration by the Lebanese authorities that they have received a
confirmed indictment.
The
confirmation of the indictment means that Judge Fransen is satisfied that there
is prima facie evidence for this case to proceed to trial. This is not a
verdict of guilt and any accused person is presumed innocent unless his or her
guilt is established at trial.
At this
time, the STL has no comment on the identity or identities of the person or
persons named in the indictment. Indeed, Judge Fransen has ruled that the
indictment shall remain confidential in order to assist the Lebanese authorities
in fulfilling their obligations to arrest the accused.
UN
Security Council Resolution 1757 and the provisions of its annexes are clear on
the steps that must be taken by the Lebanese authorities. These include the
service of the indictment on the accused person or persons, their arrest and
detention, as well as their transfer to the STL.
Under the
STL’s Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Lebanese authorities have to report
to the STL on the measures that they have taken to arrest the accused,
at least within 30 days of the submission of the indictment.
The
Prosecutor of the STL submitted an indictment, for review by Judge Fransen, on
17th January 2011 and subsequently amended it three times – on 11th March, 6th
May and 10th June 2011 (the latter at the request of the Pre-Trial Judge).
