On the sit in of the Lebanese opposition

The Lebanese opposition decided to postpone the sit in it had called for today (Monday) near the Lebanese Presidential palace in order to pressure the Lebanese President Emil Lahoud and push him to resign.

This was made following the announcement made by the Maronite Patriarch Nasrullah Sfeir his opposition to remove Lahoud by means of force.

The opposition's follow up commission, which includes the trend of al-Hariri, the Druz leader Walid Junblat and the meeting of the Christian Shahwan, stressed confidence in the wisdom of patriarch Sfeir and therefore it decided to postpone the sit in until after the elections.
