Stand for the families of the victims of the Beirut port explosion (Hussein Baydoun)
On Friday, the Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri expressed his full solidarity with the interim Prime Minister, Hassan Diab, after the prosecution against him in the explosion of the port of Beirut, and highlighted for him a visit described as “urgent” and important for government companies, according to Diab circles.
It is the right of the families of the martyrs Beirut port You are not allowed to know the truth about who killed your children, but to transgress the constitution. # Government Serail ٢/٢
– Saad Hariri (@saadhariri) December 11, 2020
After meeting Diab, Hariri said: “I came to the post of prime minister to express my absolute rejection of the clear and flagrant constitutional violation that the judge committed when trying the prime minister. The constitution is clear and the heads of government only appear before a special court made up of Parliament. “
Hariri stressed that the position of prime minister is not for blackmail, and this matter is unacceptable and we will not accept it, and the families of the martyrs have the right to know the truth, and to know who brought this ship and who gave it the cover, in As for violating the constitution and claiming the post of prime minister, this is unacceptable. I came to support the prime minister and show solidarity with him. “
Subha reiterated political and “sectarian” solidarity with Diab and the accused, and the attack on the judicial investigator, Judge Fadi Sawan, accusing him of discretion, violating the constitution and exceeding his powers.
And contrasted with the state of solidarity and political mobilization, great anger expressed by a large part of the citizens and activists, especially those who raise the slogan “everyone means everyone”, in front of the political class that always meets in the implementation of their own interests and to preserve their positions and existence and at the cost of the blood of the citizens, and avoid their responsibilities. Despite the massacre committed and the clear and frank labor negligence that caused the explosion, and despite the fact that several of them declared knowing the presence of ammonium nitrate materials in Pavilion No. 12.
They are not positions or presidencies …
They are sectarian reserves, whoever enters them obtains the eternal immunity of his sect, and calls on anyone who vacates his post to support his colleague through thick and thin.
Protection is mutual and arguments are always available:
Jealousy of religion, prestige of the site, damage to the sect and violation of the constitution.The result: divine authorization! #Lebanon

After the red line and community rights, we have revamped the sacred prime minister’s website.
They are not Karmal Diab, Karmal Hariri and Miqati, which connects the concern with the role, all the government sites are sacred and the leaders are sanctified and revered by the people who before trampled them and are now in the moment of humiliation and annihilation.– Maya Take (@nevermindwho_) December 11, 2020
Yesterday Thursday, the judicial investigator of the attack on the port of Beirut, Judge Fadi Sawan, denounced Diab, the former Minister of Finance Ali Hassan Khalil, and the former Ministers of Public Works Ghazi Zaiter and Youssef Fenianos, guilty of negligence, negligence and causing the death and damage to hundreds of people.
Judge Sawan set the dates for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week to question these as defendants, provided that the two went to the government offices to question Diab, while the ministers were questioned in his office in the Palace of Justice.
Commenting on the accusation, former Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil (who belongs to the Amal Movement led by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri) said on a talk show Thursday that he is studying the issue of going to the convocation session. in front of Sawan, and that he will ask the House of Representatives before making a decision. Adding: “Everything related to me (so that public opinion and the families of the martyrs know specifically) is that the Director General of Customs sent a letter, not to me, but to the Case Authority of the Ministry of Justice, (in addition of the Case Authority through the Minister of Finance …) asking him to refer it to the Judge of Urgent Affairs “.
Khalil added: “As Minister of Finance, my role in handling is zero. If we assume the role of Customs to destroy or re-export the goods, then it is an act that it performs with the mandate it has from Parliament and it has absolute authority, and does not need the approval of the Minister of Finance “, and noted that” the Director General of Customs sent a letter. Not to me, but to the Case Authority of the Ministry of Justice, asking what to do Where is the Ministry of Justice in this matter? ”He added:” In addition to the Case Authority. For referral to the judge for urgent matters. This is my whole relationship with the subject and a point on the line. “
And the former Minister of Finance added: “Let us ask ourselves who was late to the initiative when State Security conducted its investigation. From top to bottom. The President of the Republic, the Supreme Defense Council, the Prime Minister, the Ministers of the Interior, the Ministers of Justice and the Ministers of Defense. I do not want to blame others, but to confirm the defect of the procedures and that the forensic investigator exceeded his authority. “
Likewise, the former Minister of Public Works, Deputy Ghazi Zuaiter (affiliated with the Amal Movement), held a press conference on Friday to defend himself, providing justifications and clarifications, and launched an attack against Judge Sawan, and said: “I was forced to appear before the People’s Court because Judge Sawan made it clear. It is biased and even violates the constitution. “
Zuaiter emphasized: “We will not shirk any responsibility, and the matter is left to the judiciary in accordance with constitutional principles, and the misery of the judiciary if there is a judge like Fadi Sawan, and we will not be silent in the face of any slander.”
Zuaiter added: “The state prosecutor before the Public Cases Authority said in a book that the hazardous materials were transported in the port of Beirut to a safe place and the ship floated, eliminating the danger after implementing the judge’s decision. wheel “.
Hezbollah said in a statement: “We affirm our enthusiasm to ensure that the measures taken by the examining magistrate are far from politics and purpose, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, and are not subject to jurisprudence, interpretation or interpretation, and that the processing is carried out on logical and legal bases, and this is what we do not find in the procedures. ” The latter, therefore, we categorically reject the absence of uniform standards that have led to what we believe have been political attacks against people and ignoring others without a fair balance, bringing suspicion of crime to people and excluding others without a fair measure, and this unfortunately will lead to a delay in the investigation and the trial instead of reaching a final and fair judicial ruling.
Hezbollah asked Judge Sawan to “re-address this important dossier and take legal steps to ensure that the desired truth is achieved with completely unified standards away from politicization and in a way that reassures the Lebanese people about the course of this case, because port crime is not a normal crime, but rather a big nation-size problem. ” “.
The former prime minister, deputy Tammam Salam, who was also prime minister during the period of the shipment of nitrate was present in the port of Beirut, stressed that “the presidency of the Council of Ministers is not a stick breaker for anyone.”
In turn, the Mufti of the Lebanese Republic, Sheikh Abd al-Latif Derian, said in a statement today, that “the indictment against the position of prime minister is an unacceptable political objective and violates the constitution and the law for the trial of former presidents and ministers, and is part of clear malicious campaigns that do not serve justice for one group without another to settle political accounts. “
