Speaking Tuesday night at the Sayyed Shouhada compound during the second night of the ten-night ceremony marking Ashoura, Sheikh Qassem said that Hezbollah hoped that “political rivals would have learned by now from their experience with the US.”
“It is clear that the indictment will accuse Hezbollah members, which means the party itself. This indictment is categorically rejected because it has been forged from the very beginning. We will not wait for its issuance to take a stance; our position is that we reject it because it puts Lebanon in the crosshairs,” the deputy S.G. said.
Sheikh Qassem called on “political opponents” to work with Hezbollah to serve the interest of Lebanon and its independence. “This resistance is in our minds, hearts, and blood. Those who want to take it away, they will have to do this by uprooting it from the minds and hearts of the believers; and this will never happen, God willing. We want justice to prevail, and we shall never stop working to serve justice as long as we breathe.”
The STL indictment, prepared by general prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, is expected to be issued soon, according to news reports. Reports have also said that Bellemare had already submitted the draft indictment to pre-trial Judge Daniel Francine last week.
