Bellmare: No Breach Of Ethical And Religious Norms

October 29, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

All that talk about the STL’s investigator lacking propriety? Bellmare is calling B.S:

As the medical doctor interviewed by representatives of the Office of the Prosecutor confirmed in her media interviews, the investigators were not seeking any medical information from her […] Moreover, she had canceled all her appointments for that morning, so that no women would be inconvenienced by the investigators’ visit […] The visit had been approved by the Lebanese authorities. The investigators were accompanied by members of the judicial police and the army. The doctor had received approval from the Beirut Order of Physicians to meet with the OTP investigators, and had agreed to the meeting

He seems to have read the critiques and responded to them one by one.
