A public service announcement by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon

Monday, 12 September 2011
Arrest warrants have been issued for four individuals involved in the 14 February 2005 attack.
The accused are Mr. Salim Jamil Ayyash, Mr. Hussein Hassan Oneissi, Mr. Assad Hassan Sabra, Mr. Mustafa Amine Badreddine (also known as Mustafa Youssef BADREDDINE, Sami ISSA or Elias Fouad SAAB)
The charges relate to various crimes including the conspiracy to kill former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and 21 others as well as the attempted homicide of 231 persons. The full account of the charges can be found on the Tribunal's website.
The Tribunal's President, Judge Antonio Cassese, reminds the accused of their right to participate in the proceedings. By participating, the accused can fully defend themselves against the charges and evidence presented against them.
The proceedings will be conducted according to the highest international standards. The Tribunal's Judges will never convict an accused unless guilt is established beyond reasonable doubt.
The Lebanese people – and especially the victims of this attack – deserve to know the truth about what happened on 14 February 2005.
