According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam emphasized the importance of the presumption of innocence as a fundamental pillar of justice. He stated that unless a verdict is issued against a person, they have the right to exercise their full rights, including appointment in public administrations. However, this cannot serve as a cover for anyone. He called for the judiciary to complete its path with full independence, stressing that when its rulings are issued, it will act accordingly and hold accountable whoever must be held accountable, regardless of the position they occupy.
