National

DAMASCUS,(ST)_Syria has issued three arrest warrants in absentia against the two Lebanese MPs Saad Hariri and OqabSaqer and the Syrian citizen Luay Mekdad.

SANA reported on Wednesday that Damascus Attorney General Judge Marwan al-Lawji announced that the First Investigation Judge sent the three arrest warrants to Lebanon via the international Interpol. 

“The crimes perpetrated by the mentioned names are terrorist ones, and any state having those wanted on its lands have to hand them over to the Syrian authority for trial,” said al-Lawji.

He asserted that any failure in the implementation of those arrest warrants is considered a violation of international law.

Al-Lawji added: “The prosecution has been informed to collect clues after the voice records that unveil the mentioned names’ involvement in providing terrorist groups in Syria with weapons and money.”

He sees that under the signed deals between the two sides, the Lebanese authority has either to lift immunity of the two MPs immediately after listening to the voice records or hand them over to the Syrian authority.
