The Muslim Scholars League of Lebanon, bowing in reverence before the souls of the fallen martyrs and the hundreds of wounded and injured, affirms the following positions and principles:
1. Justice Has No Statute of Limitations
The sacred blood of the worshippers that watered the grounds of Al-Taqwa and Al-Salam is a trust resting on the shoulders of all. We will not rest until every hand that ordered, planned, or executed this crime is brought before the courts and the Judicial Council to face the fair and deterrent justice they deserve.
2. Salute to the Vigilance and Patience of Tripoli's People
We pay tribute to the imams of the two mosques—Sheikh Salem al-Raafi and Sheikh Bilal Baroudi—as well as to the honorable people of Tripoli, whose steadfastness and wisdom foiled the conspirators' designs, denying them the sectarian chaos they sought and the slide into internecine bloodshed.
3. A Call for Justice for Tripoli and Its People
We call upon the Lebanese state to fully shoulder its responsibilities toward the families of the martyrs and the wounded—securing their legal and welfare rights—and to end the marginalization and developmental neglect long suffered by the capital of the North.
