Middle East News: Lebanon lifts immunity in Beirut blast case – Gulf Digital News
Cairo: Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a Sky News Arabia interview yesterday he had signed a bill that lifts immunity on “everyone” who might have borne responsibility for the Beirut port blast, saying they must be held accountable.
The disastrous August 4, 2020 explosion left more than 200 people dead and devastated swathes of the Lebanese capital.
Mikati added in the interview that Lebanon’s constitution stipulated that senior government officials must be tried in front of a special tribunal.
