Hizbullah Denies Report Accusing It of Killing Syrian Army Dissenters
Hizbullah on Sunday denied a French media report accusing the party of being involved in the killing of Syrian soldiers who had refused to shoot at anti-regime protesters.
Radio France has quoted a report that will allegedly be issued by a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) committee as saying that Iran and Hizbullah were involved in the killing of Syrian soldiers who had refused to obey orders to shoot at demonstrators.
“Hizbullah had already released several statements denying the accusations launched by some Syrian dissidents and some other parties about Hizbullah’s involvement in the events taking place in Syria, and its statements had always stressed its keenness on Syria and its leadership, people and institutions and its wishes on reaching solutions that meet the aspirations of all Syrians regarding reform and stability,” the party said in a statement.
“Hizbullah’s response to the claims circulated by these dissidents stems from its keenness on clarifying the picture and preventing the Arab and international public opinion from being misled by some individuals who are seeking to gain the support of the international conspiracy against the forces of resistance and defiance in the region in order to achieve their own, narrow-minded goals at the expense of the Syrian people’s blood,” the party added.
“These false, baseless accusations prove that some international organizations are part of the conspiracy against the forces opposing the Zionist-American scheme in the region,” Hizbullah noted.
It also called on the United Nations and its institutions to “seek accuracy and credibility when issuing statements and reports to avoid playing the role of a party provoking strife and unrest instead of being a party dedicated to spreading security and peace in the world.”
Radio France had quoted the UNHCR committee as saying that Syrian soldiers who had refused to shoot at protesters were killed after being detained by Hizbullah members or Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, “who are now present in Syria to help the regime repress protesters.”
Iran and Hizbullah have repeatedly refused the accusations.

yeah.... there is always a conspiracy against Hiz of Iran..... you guys have a complex. Your actions speak louder than your words. From what we have seen you do in Lebanon, it is almost certain (in my opinion) that you are helping the regime in Syria (using your terror techniques ) kill and torture the demonstrators. So, now the UN is also part of this UNIVERSAL conspiracy huh?

The group that follows orders to kill Hariri, Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Eid and others, is the same group that will follow orders to kill dozens of Lebanese civilians on May 7, and is also the same group that will follow orders to shoot Syrian soldiers in the back, if those soldiers refuse to kill innocent peaceful protesters.
Too many holes to plug, the boat is taking on too much water, and will soon be sinking.

But people-power saw them in his own eyes force these soldiers to wear a yellow cap before they let them go. Then, the Iranian snipers would spot these soldiers who are wearing the yellow caps, shoot and kill them. Any doubts? Well, who does not trust people-power?

I wonder if the Hassans have a form about conspiracy, Zionist, the West, US etc because this is the exact thing they say every time there is a report, usually true, about their wrong doings, in fact that was what they said after they murdered Samer Hanna.

Do I know if this is true or not? No. Would I take the word of an international governing body over that of a terrorist organization which has committed countless crime in and outside of Lebanon? Yes.

to Le Big Phlegm,
So, you no longer dispute the trustworthiness of the news source as you did in your other pathetic post attacking Naharnet. Instead, you now appear to make a non sequitur that thugs and murderers can’t help each other?? Are you that dense? Come now. I’m beginning to change my opinion of your intellectual abilities.

If the UN told people-power that he's startrip son, he'd believe it, that's how naive these chimps are. At least the 500 million invested by the US on smearing the resistance's image worked on some people; too bad they need it to come out of their flowing debt now and all they got was a M8 majority and a few retarded bloggers on naharnet hahahahaha

Nope. Won't comment on the article. But it just amuses me when people posting comments call these Hizbullah thugs "the resistance". Only in Lebanon can there be a "Resistance" when there is no occupation :) ...
