Aoun: STL Undermining Stability Rather Than Maintaining Justice

Head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc MP Michel Aoun said on Tuesday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) was undermining stability rather than maintaining justice, adding that "the evidence is that many heads of state had died in Lebanon before" with the United States remaining idle about their cases.

Speaking to reporters following his bloc's weekly meeting held is his residence in Rabiyeh, Aoun said that opposition ministers have not set a deadline for resolving the false witnesses' issue.

General Aoun, meanwhile, urged the Lebanese judiciary to speed up the issuance of verdicts against the perpetrators of an ambush against an army patrol in the Bekaa town of Majdal Anjar on Thursday, which had left an officer and a sergeant martyred.
