There are those who do not want truth and justice

Its president, Ibrahim Hoteit, spoke on behalf of the gathering, offering his apology to the martyrs of the port for the forced absence of the people, saying: I apologize for our failure to hold this stand, which we were the first to establish and establish, so that our cause would not be lost in the boats of oblivion.

He added: Let me convey the grief of what we went through to our martyrs and victims, and we were forced into this absence and non-attendance at their forum, where they were killed unjustly and aggressively, and their bodies and body parts came out from here from Martyrs Gate No. (3), and they must know from above that we were subjected to a brutal Zionist aggression that killed our children and women. And our sheikhs and men, and destroyed our homes and abandoned us.

Hoteit continued: Here we stand today, where we stood four years and five months ago, demanding truth, justice, and accountability. We are almost stepping towards the fifth anniversary of the bloody massacre of the port explosion. The truth is lost, justice is lost, and accountability is the dream of our dreams. The reason is due to the politicization of this national and humanitarian issue from the first half hour, and before that. The smoke of the explosion cleared and its fires died down. There were those who invested in the blood, pain and pain. For narrow political considerations, he investigated, prosecuted, and ruled even before the security and judicial agencies, and mobilized all his means and media platforms to market his hateful political narrative without paying any consideration to the feelings of people searching for the comfort of their lives among the rubble, hospitals, and refrigerators of the dead.

He added: Then the scenes continued with random arrests, the aim of which was to absorb the resentment and anger of the street, and continued with summonses that we hoped would affect everyone, without any exception for those who were in charge from the entry of the nitrates until they exploded, which unfortunately has not happened so far despite all the documents that almost condemn some of them. Ministers, judges, and leaders of security services. We have many of them, and we talked about most of them and handed over copies of them to the relevant agencies. Even the media got a share of them without saying anything. He dares to publish it until our doubt has risen to certainty that there are those who are running the game and do not want truth and justice, but rather just politicization and abhorrent political targeting. And whoever reads the latest report on the Al-Jarida News website and the poison, distortion of facts, intrigues, and hatred on the tongues of the interlocutors, fully understands what I am saying.

He said: Yesterday, a meeting was held in the office of the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Suhail Abboud, which included him, in addition to the investigating judge, Tariq Al-Bitar, and the Cassation Public Prosecutor, Judge Jamal Al-Hajjar, with the aim of pressuring Al-Hajjar to violate the law and resolve the complex of the usurpation of authority lawsuit against Al-Bitar, which was brought against him by the former Cassation Public Prosecutor, Judge Ghassan Oueidat, which It was like a noose around the neck of the farrier who had the suspicious jurisprudence that he was a demigod who did not respond or dispute, and the hand of that obscure judge who did not stop him could not stop him. He suddenly became ecstatic when some people in the street glorified him, until he became more like a party leader than a judge.

Hoteit added: Here I direct my words to Judge Tariq Al-Bitar to ask what remains of his conscience some questions: Is populism one of the characteristics of judges and does he reach the truth and the truth? Imam Ali said: What rightful owner has left me? Have you completed all your summons, and what about Ashraf Rifi, Peter Germanus, the remaining presidents of republics and governments, the ministers, and the leaders of the security and judicial services? Have you heard of those who seized the ship after it obtained permission to leave? What about them? Did you hear during the investigation that ammonium nitrate was found on Ibrahim Al-Saqr in Zahle? Did you investigate him or summon him? Are there many, many questions that make our suspicion of you and your professionalism more than your project, Your Honor?
