March 14 to Commemorate Hariri's Assassination at BIEL
The March 14 opposition alliance plans to commemorate the 8th anniversary of the assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri at the Beirut International Exhibition and Leisure Center BIEL on Feb 14 in a massive rally, media reports said.
Prominent political figures and MPs representing all parties of the alliance including cadres of al-Mustaqbal movement would participate in the event, reports quoted the secretary-general of the movement, Ahmad Hariri, as saying.
The event will be another opportunity for March 14 to reiterate its “political and moral” support to the Syrian revolution, and would as well look forward for the trials of the accused in Hariri's case which is slated for March 25, added the secretary-general.
Al-Mustaqbal movement leader, Saad Hariri, is expected to address the audience at BIEL via video link through a huge screen.
Premier Najib Miqati issued a memo Friday, announcing Feb. 14 as a national holiday.
