Public Prosecution Seeks Aoun Indictment
The Lebanese Public Prosecutor's Office has filed a charge against former Lebanese President Michel Aoun regarding the Beirut Port explosion in 2020. This development comes as investigations continue into his political and administrative responsibilities related to the storage of large quantities of ammonium nitrate over several years, which led to the explosion on August 4, 2020, resulting in the deaths of more than 200 people, injuries to thousands, and widespread destruction in the capital. The request to charge Aoun represents a significant progression in the case, especially since he was the President of the Republic during the period of storage, while Lebanese judiciary continues its investigation into the causes and circumstances that allowed the dangerous materials to remain. Calls to uncover the truth and hold those responsible for the disaster accountable are recurring.
