Deputy Jamal al-Sayyed stated that some who killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri participated in his funeral yesterday and are now weeping in remembrance of him. He pointed out in a statement via "X" that this painful anniversary cannot be separated from the developments that resulted from it, most importantly the emergence of the March 14 Alliance as a prelude to an international political coup in Lebanon. He emphasized that the March 14 Alliance cannot be separated from their false accusations against four Lebanese officers of killing Rafik Hariri, which facilitated that group's rise to power at the expense of the truth and the blood of the martyr president. He added that this accusation cannot be divorced from the conspiracy of false witnesses, including Mohammed Zohair al-Siddiq and Hossam Hossam, orchestrated by the March 14 political, judicial, and security team along with the Mehlis committee to falsify the investigation and protect the real criminals, leading to our wrongful detention for four years to ensure their stability in power.
He further stated that the conspiracy of the false witnesses is linked to the decision of the international court in The Hague in April 2009 to immediately release the four officers after it acknowledged the conspiracy of the false witnesses but refused to try them, suddenly jumping to accuse other Lebanese individuals falsely, out of fear of exposing the countries, politicians, judges, and Lebanese officers involved in that conspiracy. This is also related to the decision of the international court on August 18, 2021, which officially requested that the Lebanese state and the United Nations publicly apologize to Jamal al-Sayyed and his comrades and compensate them for their wrongful detention in Lebanon.
He noted that "Hariri was killed twice; the first time on February 14, 2005, in an international conspiracy aimed at changing the regime in Lebanon to implement Resolution 1559 by exploiting the assassination, and the second time by Lebanese and foreign individuals well-known to the martyr's son, who orchestrated the conspiracy of false witnesses and sold the martyr's blood for cheap political and financial gains in Lebanon and abroad."
