Beirut Port Explosion Prompts Presidential Call for Action
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called on the judiciary to expedite issuing the indictment regarding the Beirut Port explosion, emphasizing that the delay has become unacceptable and that justice must be served for the victims and the full truth uncovered. This appeal comes especially after six years since the catastrophe, which claimed the lives of more than 220 people and injured over 6,000, as a result of the explosion of stored ammonium nitrate in an unsafe manner. He also stressed the need to achieve judicial independence in facing the challenges of the case, which remains unresolved without a final indictment or the detention of officials, despite ongoing investigations into the responsibilities of several officials and their neglect of the danger posed by the stored materials.
