المحكمة الدولية تصدر قراراً بتعيين محامٍ لـ"الاخبار" والامين
Read this story in English
أصدر اليوم القاضي نيكولا ليتيري، القاضي الناظر في قضايا التحقير، قراراً مكتوباً ومعللاً لتعيين محامٍ في القضية المرفوعة ضدّ شركة "أخبار بيروت" ش.م.ل. والسيد ابراهيم الأمين.
وفي بيان صادر عن المحكمة الدولية الخاصة بلبنان، ظهر الخميس، لفتت الى ان المثول الأول لـ"الاخبار" والأمين كليهما الذي حدّد أصلاً يوم 13 أيار موعداً له، أُعيد تحديده فأصبح 29 أيار بناءً على طلب المتّهمين.
وذكّرت المحكمة بأن الأمين، حضر ممثلاً نفسه و"الأخبار عبر نظام المؤتمرات المتلفزة. وأن وقبل ان يقدم جواباً على التهمة المسندة إليه، تلا بيانًا أمام المحكمة ثمّ غادر القاعة.
وأوضحت ان ليتيري فسّر بيان الأمين وأفعاله على "أنهما إقرار بعدم المسؤولية"، وأضافت انه وبعد أن تشاور القاضي الناظر في قضايا التحقير مع الأفرقاء، قرر أن يعيّن مكتب الدفاع محامياً للمتّهمين".
وأشارت المحكمة في بيانها الى ان قرار القاضي الناظر في قضايا التحقير يبيّن أن حضور الأمين للمثول الأوّل يعني أنّه لم يعد له ما للمتّهم في محاكمة غيابية من حقوق.
ولفتت الى انه وتبعاً للقاضي فإنه ما زال جائزاً للأمين أن يشارك شخصياً أو عبر نظام المؤتمرات المتلفزة في هذه الإجراءات، وأن يعيّن محامياً يختاره بنفسه ليمثّله إذا رغب في ذلك.
وفي هذه الحالة، وفق القاضي، يكون هو نفسه "مستعداً لإعادة النظر" في قراره الذي تضمّن أمراً بأن يعيّن رئيس مكتب الدفاع محامياً للمتهم.
يُذكر انه وفي 129 ايار، إنسحب الأمين من جلسة الإستماع له أمام المحكمة الدولية بتهمة "التحقير وعرقلة سير العدالة" في قضية اغتيال رئيس الوزراء الأسبق رفيق الحريري ورفاقه، رافضا تعيين محام للدفاع عنه لأنه "لا يعترف بالمحكمة"، في حين رد عليه القاضي الناظر في قضايا التحقير نيكولا ليتييري بأنه غير مقموع وأتى إلى الجلسة بملء إرادته، مصرا على تعيين محام دفاع عنه.
وبالإضافة إلى القرار بتعيين محام، تضمّن القرار أمراً، يتابع بيان المحكمة، بأن يبدأ صديق المحكمة للادعاء بالكشف عن المواد في أقرب فرصة ممكنة، بعد تعيين المحامي واتّخاذ الترتيبات الضرورية.
وختم البيان بالتذكير بأن نص قرار 31 كانون الثاني ينص على أن نشر أسماء شهود محميين، أو حتى زعم نشرها، قد يؤدي إلى نتائج خطيرة على عمل المحكمة. وجاء في قرار اليوم أنّ "قدرة المحكمة على حماية شهودها وواجبها القيام بذلك هما في صلب هذه الإجراءات المتفرّعة عن القضية الرئيسية القائمة حاليًا أمام غرفة الدرجة الأولى".
يشار الى أنه في 13 ايار الفائت، انطلقت جلسة المثول الأول لقناة "الجديد" وصحيفة "الاخبار" في لاهاي، بقضية "تحقير" المحكمة الدولية الخاصة بلبنان.
والتهمة هي بعد نشر صحيفة "الأخبار" وقناة "الجديد" أسماء شهود مفترضين في قضية اغتيال رئيس الوزراء الأسبق رفيق الحريري قبل بدء المحاكمات الغيابية بحق خمس متهمين من حزب الله، ما اعتبرته المحكمة مسّا بأمنهم الشخصي.

"Al-Amin, representing both himself and the company, appeared via video-conference last Thursday. But prior to entering a plea, he read a statement to the court, after which he left the courtroom."
Conveniently forgetting that the tribunal did not let him finish his statement, because he was saying disturbing yet simple truths.
Maybe if they had let him speak, they would have known he rejected having a lawyer.
"Based on the above, I have decided to exercise my right to remain silent during the entire proceedings, and I refuse to appoint a lawyer to defend me or the “Akhbar Beirut Company.” I also strongly reject being assigned a lawyer by the tribunal."

seems like the tribunal chose instead to assign a random puppet who will show more docility and subservience to this masquerade of foreign powers taking over our sovereign right to render justice.

juries traditionally have twelve jurors, but here we have a jury of two twelvers who think they also are judge and if given the orders executioner.

get a life eagledown, whether you like it or not i have the right to express my opinions.
if you disagree then give your opinion instead of personally attacking other people.

when someone is getting paid to post by the enemies of lebanon, then it is no longer about opinions but rather propaganda.

@Southern : What would happen to journalists who publish the list of all Hezbollah terrorists and their functions within your terrorist organisation ? Why do you keep your terrorists in chief secret ? It's exactly the same reason why witnesses are kept confidential until they actually "testify" and get cross examined by the defence.
Yalla, time to compile a list of all Hezbollah criminal terrorists and see the reaction of your terrorist in chief who has a habit of targeting and murdering journalists instead !

So you tell me Hezbollah does not keep the names of its commanders confidential ? Fine, yalla, time to gather data and start publishing !
And regarding the murder of journalists, Gebran Tueni, Samir Kassir, May Chidiac were all murdered (or almost) by Hezbollah under orders from Bashar el Assad. They were murdered for speaking their minds.
The same way Hezbollah invaded Beirut because some politicians spoke their minds about the illegality of Hezbollah activities including their illegal telecom network.
Now it's time to take out the trash. Yalla, go to Syria to congratulate your new president and stay there ! He will be needing 10x the support to explain why the Syrian people are still at war when he has 88.7% of votes !

What's your take on their murder ? they were murdered by M14 Cannibal Zionist Takfiris ?

Exactly Mowaten, it's an evidence "game". Yalla go to court to face trial... oh I forgot, you murdered all the suspects to tie off loose ends !
Funny no ? Even Butros Harb's attempted murdered miraculously died in Syria and became a "Martyr"... Yalla buzz off or stop supporting criminals and terrorists !

lol yea right.
it is easy for you to turn your attention away each time you are shown its obvious inconsistencies, but if it was your head that the STL was out to get, i doubt you'd just go like a sheep to the slaughterhouse.
on second thought, you behave so much like a sheep i actually wouldnt put it passed you, but if you think HA's top leaders will just go there and be judged by a trial that can sentence without evidence, you are mistaken.
let them create an STL to judge israeli crimes. how come hobeika got blown up the day after he announced he would testify against sharon? how come the noble and virtuous world powers behind the UN never cared about it?
the STL is a silly and childish game, you can go play along, but we wont.

@Mowaten : what inconsistencies ? Other than your fairy tales !
No one convicted HA's top leaders. You're the one who's mentionning them. The only suspects convicted are small time HA assassins who were murdered by your party.
Go ahead and create a court to judge sharon and Israel for their crimes. No one is saying they are innocent. Also convict Lebanese christians responsible for the massacre of palestinians. No problem.
All this doesn't mean Hezbollah is innocent of their crimes. The STL is here to convict HA assassins with scientific evidence without any reasonable doubt. No evidence, no conviction.
Now explain to me why all Hezbollah assassins mysteriously died or dissappeared. And explain to me why HA MPs and Ministers approved the STL to begin with ... now shove off ...

i am not saying that israel being guilty make HA innocent. i believe HA is innocent for many other reasons, but that is not the point.
the point is, that the UN and this court are biased, they never condemned the war crimes committed by the US and israel, and yet you think they will be fair and impartial with HA, who is the enemy of both israel and the US? these two control the UN to a great extent, and it wouldnt be the first time that the US uses it for tactical reasons.
(remember in iraq? they used the UN to try to build a WMD case, and when that failed, they used the UN WMD inspectors as spies to identify targets they would later hit. all this was publicly denounced by the head inspector after the war)

"Hans Blix has not been interviewed in the American media since the war began on March 19. However, he gave an extensive interview to the Spanish newspaper, El Pa’s on April 9 in which he made it clear that the United States' claim that intelligence sources had proof of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was doubtful at best.
Blix pointed out that U.S. intelligence services seemed to be collecting military reconnaissance information rather than evidence of weapons of mass destruction. This made it necessary for Blix to strictly delimit his activities to protect the integrity of the inspections process."

Thank you mowaten for showing how irrelevant you are !
"the UN and this court are biased, they never condemned the war crimes committed by the US and israel"
What does this court have to do with Israeli or US war crimes ? This court is about the assassination of tens of prominent free lebanese figures who gave their lives to free our country for decades of Syrian occupation. They sacrificed more than any Hezbollah goon !
It's very clear now. You have NOTHING to say so have to come up with the world's most stupid excuses

Except there has been deaths associated to the Tribunal. Like the intelligence office for example. So I wouldn't agree with your statement entirely. There is nothing to gain at this point to publish that list except to try and discredit the tribunal and put pressure on the witnesses.

who leaked the list? why is no effort made to find this out? could it be that someone inside the tribunal leaked it voluntarily? i dont see who else had access to it anyway...
but like with the false witnesses, they will tell you they are not interested in finding out. all they care about is silencing those who are against them.

Uff, we still have "people" who believe in Hezbollah's divine victory. Who believe Hezbollah is a "resistance" movement. Who believe Hezbollah protects "Lebanon". Who believes Hassan is a "Sayyed". If he is in fact a descendant of the "prophet", then to hell with your prophet and kalashnikov god. Time to eliminate these manipulators and brainwashed sheep !
You are a waste of oxygen, water, electricity, land, food and time. Damn, you're even a waste of alcohol with Hassan's Glorious Marty Son killed after a drunk bar fight passed off as a glorious act of resistance against Israel :)
