Sayyed Nasrallah Vows to Use Diplomacy to Free Imprisoned Freedomfighters, Calls Rulings Political Cover-Up Fabrications

The Secretary General of Hizbullah on the Court Rulings in Egypt:

The Secretary General of Hizbullah Considered the court rulings, "which were issued today against the mujahidiin who were offering aid to the mujahidiin in the Gaza strip are political adjudications and are arbitary decisions in the right of those mujahidiin, those noble men."

His Eminence said in an interview with the the Kuwati Ray TV that will air on Thursday, "Since the first day that the brotheres were declared arrested in Egypt, we emphasised, and I said so in person, that those brothers are noble resistance mujahidiin, not what the chief judge who was reading the verdict described as outlaws, criminals, and terrorists. They are among the nobles of this nation; their only true crime is that they were aiding their brothers in the Gaza strip and aiding and supporting the legitimate Palestinian resistance which should be embraced by everyone. They were doing this duty, and the rest of what was said are fabrications to cover up the proceedings in their right."

His Eminence addressed the arrested mujahidiin and their families saying, "When you chose the path of supporting the Palestinian people, you knew that at any moment you might be arrested or face more than arrest: death and martyrdom. Hence, what you have faced in prison and in the rulings which were issued today is a legion of honor on the chests of these mujahidiin, these noble men."

"It is our pride and honor that all the Arab and Islamic nations know that we are imprisoned and detained for saying ‘God is our Lord' and listening to Allah, glory to Allah the Exalted, who orders us to be to the side of our brothers in Palestine and in Gaza. In this I see no loss of Arab profoundness To the contrary, this emphasises the integrity of our position and our commitment to Palestine -of course, the possible commitment as we yearn for doing more than this; however, even with this amount we manage to do, we are paying the price. It is in God's hands and in God's service," his Eminence said.

Hisbullah's Secretary General confirmed that matters with Egypt "are not closed. We will not leave those brothers in prison, for certain. We will follow up on this case even after the issuing of the judical rulings just as with the previous phase as we were keen on handling matters through the judicial and legal channels."

"Now the matter has come out of the hands of the judiciary, and the sole available exit may be through politics," His Eminence said, adding, "We will pursue political and diplomatic means to settle this matter and establish the rights of those brothers and remove them from prison."
