The arrest warrant accused Siddiq of committing "several crimes, including conspiring against Syria, disrupting its foreign relations and giving false testimonies," said Habash.
The lawyer said that the Riyadh Arab Agreement for Judicial Cooperation endorsed by the Council of Arab Ministers of Justice in 1983 obliged the UAE to extradite Siddiq to Damascus "in addition to put his name in all international Interpol Offices."
Siddiq was arrested in France in 2005 with an international arrest warrant issued by the Interpol on request of Lebanon within the interrogation of Hariri's assassination. French authorities, however, refused to hand him over to Lebanon alleging "lack of guarantees regarding the death penalty".
He was set free at the end of February 2006. He was last seen in France in March 2006.(AFP)
