The National Campaign to Prosecute War Criminals: First Statement


Dear Lebanese Citizens,

Our Sunday sit-in will challenge the War Lords, the scaremongers, he king pins of hatred and Sectarian incitement
It will be a scream of challenge against those who for 17 years and more, have murdered us, and sanctioned corruption and murder.
Time has come for us to tell the leaders/murderers that our blood is not cheap, and that the life of an ordinary victim is worth the whole governing elite.
We are organising this first sit-in in light of the Arab Spring and the regional longing for freedom, justice and accountability, and whilst we witness previously un-imaginable tribunals of those who murdered their own people.
From our sit-in on Sunday, we will tell you that we are here, the conscience of Lebanon ... We are here to put you accountable to the murder and injury of every citizen in our country, and to investigate the fate of the thousands left missing without a trace.
We will continue to come here to protest until accountability and until we build a State where the rule of law and the rights of its citizens would constitute the most important priorities.
And for that, we demand the following:
1. Abolishing the infamous 1991 Amnesty Law number 84
2. Establishing a special court to prosecute War Criminals, and freeze their accounts and assets (and their direct families-the beneficiaries of their corrupt practices) in order to fund any future compensation to victims.
