Hassan Tannous, the father of little Ella Tannous, who lost all four limbs due to medical errors about five years ago, announced his surprise: “The president of the Beirut Court of Appeals, Judge Rula Al-Husseini, has withdrawn from the file of his daughter Ella during the appeal stage “.

Tannous said in a statement that “all testify to Judge Al-Husseini with competence, courage and integrity”, hoping that she “explains to the public the reasons for this sudden resignation.” And she said, “Isn’t five years of procrastination enough? .

It is noteworthy that “the verdict in the case of little Ella was issued last February by the sole criminal judge of Beirut, Rula Sfeir, and ruled the conviction of two doctors and two university hospitals and fines.”

After “the family of the girl Ella Tannous was informed that the head of the Beirut Court of Criminal Appeal, Judge Rula Al-Husseini, had withdrawn from the file,” Judge Al-Husseini explained that “her withdrawal was it is due to the fact that one of the accused doctors has a medical connection to his close relatives. “

Given his impartiality, objectivity and a sense of shame on his part, his “exit from the file came to take the case the necessary legal course.”
