Hezbollah Lashes Out Bellemare’s Statement

Hezbollah Lashes Out Bellemare’s Statement

Hezbollah: Bellemare couldn’t deny any of the facts presented by Sayyed Nasrallah.

Commenting on the statement issued by the STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare in response to the televised speech of Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on June 2, Hezbollah issued the following statement:

“We were not surprised by the prosecutor’s response to the compelling evidences submitted by his eminence Sayyed Nasrallah about the major gaps affecting the credibility of this Court and its staff,” the statement read.

Hezbollah remarked that Bellemare’s statement has been generally formulated, without touching any of the presented evidences, where the STL prosecutor couldn’t deny any of the hard facts cited by his eminence Sayyed Nasrallah.

The statement cited several points of failure committed by Bellemare in clarifying the STL stance, starting from working personally to resolve Mohammad Zoheir al-Siddiq’s situation with the Interpol, and refusing to investigate the subject of a possible Israeli involvement in the assassination.

Hezbollah considered in his statement that Bellemare not only ignored the four officers’ imprisonment and the injustice they have suffered for years without getting the necessary moral compensation, but he also didn’t deny the computers which had been transferred through the occupied Palestine.

The STL prosecutor "ignored as well the fled collaborators who were present at the assassination theatre, of whom Ghassan al-Jedd at least was identified."

Hezbollah believed that Bellemare omitted mentioning the CIA agent Robert Baer along with his role in the investigation and in Court; as well as other investigators of the intelligence services, who are waging hostility openly to the Resistance.

“Bellemare’s silence on these issues reveals the size of the erosion affecting the credibility of Court, and the weakness that hits its moral basis,” Hezbollah’s statement added.

“As for speaking on the full commitment to the highest international standards, we believe it does not fool a sane; only if the international standards that Bellemare is talking about are those that legitimate the logic of jungle, and shade the justice by the right of force, not by the force of right," the statment concluded.
