Khalaf, Saliba criticize judiciary's decision to fire Ghada Aoun

MPs Melhem Khalaf and Najat Aoun Saliba of the Change bloc on Friday criticized a decision by the judiciary’s disciplinary council to expel Mt. Lebanon Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun from the judiciary over alleged violations related to her work.

“Judge Ghada Aoun has dared to open some files at a time others have refrained from that,” Khalaf and Saliba said in a joint tweet.

“No matter how much she exceeded her jurisdiction, isn’t expulsion from the judiciary an exaggerated decision? And what about others who have assassinated justce?” the two MPs added.

“There is a general feeling that the judiciary is not dealing with itself with unified standards. Beware of arbitrariness and double standards,” they said.
