National Liberal Party for Releasing Lebanese Detainees in Syria
The National Liberal Party said Friday that releasing prisoners from Israeli jails would not be a national event as long as Lebanese detainees are held by Syria.
The NLP made the remark in a statement issued by its higher council that met under Dory Chamoun.
"What prevents Syria”s allies … from launching initiatives with Syria to achieve their (detainees”) release?" the NLP asked.
The statement urged President Michel Suleiman and Premier-designate Fouad Saniora to exit from the "tunnel of blocking demands" and agree on a cabinet based on the spirit of the Taif Accord.
