The families of Beirut Port blast martyrs filed on Friday a lawsuit against the judicial investigator Tarek Al-Bitar, demanding that the judiciary authorities recuse him.
The martyrs’ families indicated that the performance of Judge Al-Bitar is suspicious and reflects discretion as well as temperament.
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.
On August 4, 2020, a massive blast rocked Beirut Port blast, killing around 196 citizens and injuring over 6000 of others. The explosion also caused much destruction in the capital and its suburbs.
