PROTEST STAND AGAINST THE RELEASE OF THOSE ARRESTED IN THE BEIRUT PORT BLAST DOSSIER, OUTSIDE NABATIYEH’S SERAIL

The Nabatiyeh Movement organized a protest stand facing the Nabatiyeh Serail this morning, in rejection of “attempts to obscure truth and impose impunity in the investigations of the Beirut port explosion.”

Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Attorney Ghada Mhanna said: “After disrupting the presidential elections, the authority dealt a blow to the judiciary through its apparatus, which it deliberately implanted in the institutions…After stopping the judicial investigation twice with Judge Sawan and several times with Judge Bitar, some judicial authorities released, and contrary to the law, all those arrested for the crime of the port explosion, smuggling the most dangerous of them to America, who occupies the position of security official in the port, at the behest of global imperialism conspiring against the homeland….”

“We call on the masses of our people to stand side by side in the face of attempts to obscure the truth and impose impunity, with a solid will and good patience, until the restoration of the homeland and the revival of its institutions is achieved,” Mhanna concluded.
