Middle East Monitor
Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos said Tuesday that an indictment in the 2020 Beirut port blast will be issued within the next few months, adding that the investigation has entered its “final stages,” Anadolu reports.
He did not provide further details on the course of the investigation or the obstacles it had faced.
The sit-in was held near the Beirut port at a memorial for firefighters killed in the blast, with dozens of victims’ relatives renewing their demand for the truth to be revealed and those responsible to be held accountable.
The investigation into the disaster has faced years of political and judicial obstacles, and no indictment has yet been issued.
