“Sounds Familiar?”

Hanin Ghaddar:

the whole country — authorities, the media and various communities — was against the tribunal. The credibility of the tribunal was called into question by the issue of “false witnesses” or to give it its correct legal term, non-reliable witnesses. The [tribunal] was criticized for trying to divide the [country]; any indictments, critics maintained, would ignite civil strife and it was labeled a tool for American and international intelligence apparatuses

That’s not in the Lebanon of 2010. That was Yugoslavia in the late nineties.
