The prosecutor’s opinion is the final procedural step—not a license to bury the truth or surrender to political intimidation. The next procedural step rests with Public Prosecutor Judge Ahmad Rami al-Hajj. The state must protect every judge, prosecutor, witness and investigator connected to this case. He must ensure that the prosecution’s legal opinion is completed professionally and returned to Judge Bitar within the announced timeframe—or sooner. Lebanon’s public prosecutor must act—because justice delayed for six years is not merely delayed.
