Hizbullah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah appeared on al-Manar TV station to deliver a speech which he described as a "Conference" complementary to the previous press conferences that were held to provide evidences and facts on the false accusations against Resistance members. "The nature of the latest events compelled us to hold a press conference; however, my [speech] will replace the press conference. We will be displaying videos throughout the address," Sayyed Nasrallah said.

Sayyed Nasrallah said that his speech comes in context what has been said about an indictment issued against Resistance fighters who have a bright history in resisting the ‘Israeli" enemy. He noted that this indictment is the product of a long path of which its features became clear following the "Israeli" defeat in the 2006 July war, reminding when the French newspaper "Le Figaro" leaked in an article that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's investigation related to former PM Rafik Hariri's assassination points fingers against Hizbullah. "I will not be repeating what I have already stated, yet we need to talk about new issues. Of course, the reason for the address is the occasion of what it is said to be the release of the indictment (of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) that has named brothers in the Resistance. This is the result of a process, which is becoming clearer and clearer after Israel's defeat in the 2006 July War and also after the French newspaper Le Figaro reported in August, 2006 that the STL is moving toward indicting Hizbullah members," His Eminence reiterated.
Sayyed Nasrallah said that the most serious "We were clear in the past that we cannot disregard the STL because it is the result of a UN Security Council Resolution and it has a purpose that it wants to accomplish. The timing of the STL indictment release has also a goal of its own that we will tackle throughout the address.
Sayyed Nasrallah explained that the most serious goal (of the STL and the investigation) is to cause strife or civil war between the Sunnis and Shiites, noting that the timing of the indictment has a goal of its own.
Concerning the investigation which is supposedly entitled to find the truth, Sayyed Nasrallah said that at first the investigation intended to target Syria and it officials, then moved on to accuse the four generals and then involving Hizbullah in the assassination. He added "During the past year, we said there is a possibility of having "Israel" involved in the murder and the fact that "Israeli" agents were presents at the murder scene one day before the murder," asking "Did (STL Prosecutor Daniel) Bellemare take into account this alleged evidence we had spoken about?" ![evidence](http://www.blogger.com/%3Cimg%20src=%22http://img2.blogblog.com/img/video_object.png%22%20style=%22background-color:%20#b2b2b2; " class="BLOGGER-object-element tr_noresize tr_placeholder" id="BLOGGER_object_4" data-original-id="BLOGGER_object_4" />){kind=link}
Sayyed Nasrallah wondered why no one in the STL asked the "Israelis" anything, explaining the reason behind that as he added "This is normal, why? Because the tribunal, since its formation, had a precise goal and no one was allowed to talk to the "Israelis"." Hizbullah SG stressed that the STL and its investigation are politicized, explaining that instead of investigating the "Israelis", the STL gathered information from them.
Providing evidence on the politicization of the STL and its cooperation with "Israel" Sayyed Nasrallah declared that as Danielle Bellemare was appointed as the tribunal's prosecutor and after the cancelling of the internal commission investigating the probe, employees were transported and taken out of Beirut. At the time, 97 computers belonging to the internal commission investigating the probe were transported through the Naqoura border crossing and taken through occupied Palestine.

Sayyed Nasrallah asked "why does Bellemare want to take these computers from Lebanon to "Israel"? Why didn't they ship them out of the Beirut port? Can Mr. Bellemare answer this question?" *(A video footage shows information about STL investigators: Najib Nick Keldass, of Australian descent, is shown as having ties to the CIA. Also, Michael Taylor, Darell Mandeze, a former US Marines officer is also presented as having tight relations with the CIA and FBI. Also, Dored Bcherawi, a French citizen of Lebanese descent, is the first one who accused Syria of murdering Hariri without possessing any piece of evidence. Robert Bear, American, former CIA officer who still has ties to the CIA and who worked in Lebanon for years to track down Hizbullah martyred Leader Imad Moghnieh.)
Hizbullah Secretary General added that alongside the incredible probe, the investigators were corrupt, noting that justice cannot be served. Giving an example on the corrupt investigators and STL personals, Sayyed Nasrallah mentioned Commissioner Gerhard Lehmann (Former Commissioner of the United Nations International Independent Investigation Commission into the assassination of Former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri) who was also Detlev Mehlis's assistant who sold information related to the investigation and was corrupt. Sayyed Nasrallah had disclosed some information in an earlier conference on Lehmann exposing how he was corrupt. 'Are these EUROS Mr. Lehman?'
*(A video footage shows Lehmann having ties to the "Israelis" and got pain in return for selling reports related to the assassination probe.)
"Bellemare personally worked and followed up on the task to lift the international (INTERPOL) warrant against Mohammad Zuheir al-Siddiq, (who is the Syrian agent who misled the UN probe into the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri because the investigators were involved in it," Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that Hizbullah has obtained information and evidence on the matter but wishes not disclose at the moment. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah pointed out that the investigation was not secret, as everything was leaked in the newspapers and all the people got to know the information related to the probe, wondering "Is there any credibility left?" His Eminence reiterated that the leaks were released through corruption, security breach (as there are those related to intelligence and others of the March 14 who have obtained some information related to the probe) as well as intentional leakage of information. Hizbullah leader added that the leaks made by the investigation committee aimed at distorting the image of the Resistance, repeating the question "Where is the secrecy of the investigation?"
"The worst form of leaks took place a few days ago, when the STL delegation of investigators met with (State Attorney General) Saeed Mirza to deliver the indictment and at the same time, the names of the indicted people were being broadcast through media outlets," Sayyed Nasrallah underlined. The last point concerning the investigation and investigators Sayyed Nasrallah tackled was that the indictment was politically employed. He also reminded that the names that were leaked through media outlets were identical to the names that were leaked earlier in Der Speigel and CBC in 2009, at the time Lebanese parliamentary elections were taking place, when certain parties spent up to 3 Billion Dollars for this aim. Sayyed Nasrallah noted that today, again, the indictment was released at this point particularly in an attempt to obstruct the parliament in granting its vote of confidence, in such a way to pressure the newly formed government. He reiterated that the goal is to bring down the new government as the March 14 parties want to use the indictment as a weapon in their campaign against it.
