Hizbullah, Amal Criticize Judicial Reshuffle
Hizbullah and AMAL Movement on Sunday criticized a major reshuffle of top judicial posts, which has been approved by President Michel Suleiman.
While Hizbullah claimed the reshuffle has been "politicized," AMAL Movement official Ali Bazzi said that "it seems not all issues are agreed upon through consensus."
"We would have hoped that the judicial system stays away from politicization," a statement by Hizbullah said Sunday.
"Nevertheless, judicial reshuffles were ambiguous in terms of time," the statement added.
It said the decision has "caused damage to human interests as well as to the principle of justice."
Bazzi, in turn, said: "We were not informed about the reshuffle in the first place."
"It seems that not all issues are agreed upon through consensus regardless of our opinion on this reshuffle," Bazzi said, adding that AMAL Movement has "some reservations on the details" of the appointments.
