Amal Movement politburo called on Monday after its regular meeting for the arrest of the culprits in the crime against the peaceful protesters in Tayouneh area, stressing that the attack could have led the country into the quagmire of the sectarian strife.

In a statement, Amal Movement stressed that it will not accept to be dragged into the internal sedition ignited by the politicization of the investigations into Beirut Port blast, calling for admitting the rules and norms of the fair probe.

Seven martyrs and around 30 injured were reported during the armed attack carried out by the “Lebanese Forces” gunmen on the peaceful protestors in Tayouneh area on Thursday, October 14. The protesters were demonstrating against the politicized decisions of Al-Bitar.

Al-Bitar had issued arrest warrants against officials as well as military figures on an illogical basis, pushing the defendants and observers to cast doubts on his probe.
