Hariri Thanks Ban for Supporting STL
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri contacted U.N. Chief Ban Ki-moon on Friday, thanking him for his efforts in support of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.
Hariri praised the U.N.’s efforts since the formation of the tribunal and up until the release of the indictment on Thursday.
He hailed the indictment as a "historic" moment for Lebanon and urged the government of Premier Najib Mikati to cooperate with the Netherlands-based court.
He said: “Lebanon has triumphed for international justice, and justice has triumphed for the souls of the martyrs.”
