Hizbullah Urges Saqr to Free 4 Generals
Hizbullah on Friday stressed that the continued arrest of the four Lebanese generals is "political and illegal."
The Shiite party called in a statement on examining magistrate Saqr Saqr to "listen to his conscience" and urged him not to "succumb to political pressure."
The group also called on Saqr to free the four generals "as soon as possible."
Saqr on Friday turned down a request for the release of the generals who are charged with involvement in the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri.
Hizbullah”s deputy chief, Sheikh Naim Qassem, also called for the release of the generals.
"This is a big test for the judiciary. I hope it would succeed in its last chance or else the result would be a big burden that would not be erased," he said.
"We will make serious moves," Qassem warned.
