Majority Wants Justice Ministry to Protect Mirza
Brig. Gen. Jamil Sayyed said that the parliamentary majority wants to keep Justice Ministry to protect Prosecutor General Saeed Mirza and others. Sayyed blamed the opposition for disregarding a very important case such as the "False Witnesses" one.
In a press conference held on Wednesday, Sayyed said that Mirza forwarded the lawsuits against the "false witnesses" to Lahay”s international court while knowing that it was not of its specialty.
Sayyed added that through a resolution from Mirza, false witness Mohamad Zuhair al-Seddeq became able to enter and leave Lebanon as any Lebanese citizen.
In the presence of the Syrian lawyers who received the lawsuits Sayyed filed — against Mohamad Zuhair al-Seddeq, Husam Husam, Abdul Halim Khaddam, Akram Murad, and Ibrahim Jarjour — Sayyed said that no one can appeal those 5 lawsuits after the Special Tribunal for Lebanon confirmed that the witnesses were fake.
Sayyed said that France responded positively to his lawsuit against former U.N. chief investigator Detlev Mehlis and former Lebanese ambassador Johnny Abdo. He added that the former French president Jacques Chirac had protected al-Seddeq.
"Judge Daniel Belmar and STL”s spokeswoman Radia Ashouri confirmed that STL”s law does not allow it currently to pursue false witnesses," Brig. Gen. Sayyed clarified.
