Al-Rahi: We Reject a Politicized STL, It is the Only Side that Achieves Justice
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi criticized on Monday the parties describing the international tribunal as politicized saying they should provide evidence of its politicization before making any accusations.
“We don’t accept a fake or politicized court,” al-Rahi told journalists at Bkirki. “But should we describe it as politicized just because we oppose it?” he wondered.
“Evidence should be provided about its politicization or else the tribunal remains the only side that achieves justice” in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination case, he stressed.
“Our problem is that everything is politicized. They could even politicize God,” al-Rahi said.
Asked about inter-Christian dialogue, al-Rahi told the delegation of journalists that committees are following-up the issue of land sales to non-Christians.
The properties should be given out for rent and not be sold, he said.
“With regards to positions in state institutions, we should cooperate to achieve our rights,” al-Rahi added.
