At Least Five Port Blast-Linked Lawsuits Filed on Monday
The flurry of lawsuits in the port blast case continued on Monday, with at least five filed by various parties.
“One was filed against the investigation judge into the Beirut port blast Tarek Bitar, three were filed against Higher Judicial Council member and the head of the 12th Chamber Judge Habib Mezher, and one was filed against the Lebanese state,” al-Jadeed TV said.
Among the lawsuits was one by ex-ministers Ali Hassan Khalil and Ghazi Zoaiter against the Lebanese state. It was filed before the Court of Cassation.
Ex-minister Youssef Fenianos meanwhile submitted a recusal suit against Court of Appeals judge Rosine Hjeily.
The other three lawsuits were filed by the lawyers of the foreign victims and two activist groups against Court of Appeals judge Habib Mezher.
