Aoun from Jezzine: "Lies, Insolence control Lebanese Judiciary"

26/09/2010 Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun said on Sunday that “lies and insolence are now controlling the Lebanese judiciary and state,” adding that the Lebanese judiciary has become worse than “the rude liars who violate the laws.”

 

During his visit to the southern district of Jezzine, Aoun asked: "“Why do [the March 14 parties] refuse the judiciary’s investigations into the witnesses who gave false testimonies [to the international commission investigating the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri]?”

“They say that the [opposition] has invented the false witnesses… Let them tell us how we did so,” Aoun said.

He also said that western powers want to "kill" Hezbollah to prevent it from stopping Israel to implement its decision to naturalize Palestinians in Lebanon.

"They want to kill the resistance which is an obstacle in the face of Israel. The first decision they want to implement is naturalization, but as long as there is a resisting people there is no naturalization," Aoun said following mass at Saint Takla church in Bkessine in Jezzine district.

Giving the example of lies by the Bush administration to launch war on Iraq, the MP wondered: "What would prevent the Security Council and the international community from coming up with a new lie and covering up the truth by preventing the prosecution of false witnesses" in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination case.

"We were accused of conspiring against our country because we respected our words," he added.
