Source: Al-Manar TV, 23-10-2008
Hizbullah firmly denied the claims published in Colombian media outlets about a relation between the Resistance party and some outlaw groups and activities.
On Tuesday, Colombian authorities said they arrested a drug and money-laundering ring, adding that among those arrested in Colombia were three people suspected of sending money to Hizbullah.
Hizbullah International Relations official Nawwaf al-Moussawi received the Colombian Ambassador to Lebanon Georgina al-Chaar Mallat and handed her a memorandum in which the Resistance party condemns the mentioned delusions.
The diplomatic note underlined Hizbullah friendship with the Colombian people. "Those lies were and will always be a part of the misleading Zionist Imperialist campaign against the Resistance," it read, noting that this campaign seeks to defame and slander Hizbullah resistant reputation.
"Such campaigns come in concordance with the nature of the aggressive extremist Zionist movement and with the nature of the colonialist forces and states," the memorial emphasized.
"Hizbullah is a Lebanese national resistance movement, a political party that possesses a large popular base and allies from all Lebanese sects," the party's statement said, adding that it is represented by a parliamentary bloc and ministers in the government. "Accusing the party of terrorism and criminality is an abominable and unacceptable work," the statement highlighted, calling it an insult for the whole Lebanese nation.
Meanwhile, Moussawi told reporters after meeting with Mallat that resistance was still the most effective formula for countering 'Israeli' aggression, thwarting their ambitions and responding to the threats of the usurping Zionist entity.
He said that his party believed in "resistance as the only way to liberate the territory from 'Israeli' occupation." He added that Hizbullah was determined to help build a strong and just state.
He emphasized that Hizbullah had always been a resistance movement and a national political party that believed in the unity of Lebanon as the basis of consensual democracy. He explained that democratic consensus did not just depend on "numerical balances in parliament," but was a "firm political decision to provide a model of religious, political and social diversity."
