This conference should be followed by compensating victims with dual passports from Iranian Frozen Funds after Hizbollah (Iran's Foreign Legion) assassination conviction in international courts and Nassaralah publicly admittance (recorded evidence) that his funds are from the criminal Iranian Regime. If Lebanese lawyers cannot win this obvious case in international courts, they should just go home and find another job. Shame on Lawyer syndicate for leaving these victims destitute and without justice in their day of need instead of setting up a Task Force targeted for these lawsuits! Truly we live in Banana Republic with HizbIran imposing the law of jungle via its Useful Idiots from FPM to Marada and others who sold Lebanon for 30 pieces of silver!
