Marada Movement leader and former Minister Suleiman Franjieh on Saturday said the four officers arrested in connection with the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri were innocent.
"Shame on the government of Lebanon and Lebanese judiciary system for keeping the four officers detained," Franjieh told reporters after meeting with former Prime Minister Omar Karami.
Franjieh questioned how the four officers could be transferred to The Hague when the court had, as yet, failed to summon them.
The Marada leader's comments come after the head of the UN-commissioned Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, requested Lebanon's Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar explain or deny reports that he had said the tribunal intended to transfer the four officers to The Hague.
