Imagine dear friends a country that suffered a cataclysmic explosion due to criminal negligence by the 'ruling class', an explosion that killed over 200 people & injured over 6000!
Now imagine an investigation that drags & drags.. & drags..
Until more than 4 months later...

1/5

the attorney general in charge finally indicts some of those deemed responsible: a caretaker Prime Minister, an ex Minister of Finance, & 2 ex Ministers of Public Works.
Now imagine that those indicted refuse his invitation for interrogation..
Pretty bizarre so far, right?

2/5

But it gets better: so now imagine if you will, if you can, the various powers-to-be, feudal lords, kleptocrats, top clergy, coming from across the spectrum & flocking to the defense of the accused!

3/5

& then add this cherry-on-top: imagine the Minister of the Interior stating on record that he would refuse to comply should the judge request to arrest those indicted if they refuse the summons!

4/5

I understand all of this must be very difficult to imagine.. & fortunately you don't have to: this is all just news from #Lebanon, land of the absurd & political vileness galore.
