Bassil Says Unfair to Prosecute Those who ‘Did Their Job’ in Port Case
Head of the Free Patriotic Movement Jebran Bassil tweeted on Monday about the Beirut blast “tragedy,” saying that “the worst thing is injustice, and it is unjust for a crime to go unpunished.”
He called for immunity lifting so that “justice takes its course, the perpetrator gets punished and the innocent gets acquitted.”
Bassil stated that “there are definitely people, including officials, who were aware of the (ammonium) nitrate issue but remained silent, and it would be unjust if they don’t get punished.”
“But it is also unfair,” according to the FPM chief, “to prosecute those who were aware and did their job and did not remain silent!”
Bassil wrote that “it is necessary to interrogate all the accused” and concluded that “this is how justice prevails.”
