“Even though Lebanon has a long history of political assassinations, this particular assassination was quite an earthquake in 2005,” Karim Bitar, a professor of international relations in Paris and Beirut told AFP ahead of the verdict. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the judgment “will be delivered from the courtroom with partial virtual participation” at 0900 GMT on Friday.The four defendants went on trial in 2014 on charges including the “intentional homicide” of Hariri and 21 others, attempted homicide of 226 people wounded in the bombing, and conspiracy to commit a terrorist act.
“If a convicted person is at liberty and not present, the trial chamber shall issue a warrant of arrest,” a court spokesman said.
