Local Editor

Attorney Rashad Salameh declared his initial approval in prosecuting former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, MP Oqab Saqr, and official spokesperson of the so-called "Free Syrian Army" Luay al-Mekdad on charges of arming the so-called Syrian opposition.
Salameh told al-Ahed News website that he had received an official Syrian request, through diplomatic channels in Lebanon, to be Syria's attorney-at-law in prosecuting Hariri and Saqr.
He had accentuated that he practices law in its "pure legal and judicial frame with no political considerations, although the nature of the case requires tackling the political point."

The attorney had mentioned convicting evidence that would be enough to file a lawsuit.
Moreover, Salameh told al-Ahed that, "the compulsory proceeding of the case starts with lifting both Hariri and Saqr's immunities," underscoring that, "if immunity is lifted, the case would automatically refer to the Criminal Court."
Salemeh concluded with his persistence on his political, national, and Arab adoptions that had made him an attorney to this case.
