Nazik Hariri gave a speech addressed on the seventh anniversary of the death of her husband saying: "We are here today at the seventh anniversary of the death of Hariri. Memories full of beautiful scenes of yesterday, decorated with goodness and colours and the wings of affection." "In the eye, dwells your beloved specter, and the heart missed you, the comrade of my life. The spirit is yearning for you, as well as for the days of glory and donation you wrote in lines. The self is yearning to that past which will never be missed, because it was born from the dreams of your future and from an ambition racing the wind and highly glorified," she continued. Nazik added: "On such a day the martyr President Rafiq Hariri left the Parliament, and hoped that Lebanon would hug the values of homeland and land of freedom for all. He was planting gardens of imagination for a state of law, democracy, justice and tolerance, while a malevolent hand was monitoring him to lead him to a way paved with death, while he was planning for life." Hariri said: "Looking at the reality of our nation and at innocents falling everyday, and amid the lamentation and sounds of bereaved mothers of children at the jasmine age, pain would lead us to despair, however, the words of our dear martyr came back to me- challenges in front of us are not easy to tackle, unless we make fundamental changes in learning and education and develop human resources through the developing education, training and rehabilitation." Nazik said that she totally agrees that "challenges we face from the inside and outside are difficult" and the solution was to "follow the advice" of her husband. Hariri concluded her speech saying: "May Allah preserve our nation and homelands from oppression and strife and do justice for us and revenge on those who did injustice to us and deprived us of our dear beloved one." Lebanon marked Tuesday's seventh anniversary of the assassination of Rafiq Hariri as a ground-breaking international tribunal investigating his death threatens to reignite the country's smoldering sectarian divisions. The tribunal, mandated by the United Nations, has little to show for a seven-year effort to bring Hariri's killers to justice and the sectarian tensions surrounding its mission have risen accordingly. The assassination of Hariri and 22 other people in a massive suicide bombing in central Beirut was a landmark event. The tribunal indicted four members of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah organization in June . But the powerful Shiite group denies any role in killing Hariri, a member of the rival Sunni sect, on February 14, 2005, with a 2.5-tonne bomb. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah refuses to hand over the suspects, who include two senior military chiefs, and he's vowed to "cut off the hands" of anyone seeking to apprehend them.
