“Since the #BeirutExplosion, the judicial investigation has been faced with endless obstacles. Some journalists, media figures & politicians even sought to undermine the truth & establish a culture of impunity under different pretexts." - @IldaGhssain from @NakabaBadila
“Only freedoms can guarantee that each citizen is able to voice their own concerns and proclaim their rights. We reject the equation of ‘stability versus freedom.’ Stability can only be achieved through freedom.” - @Jadshahrour from @SK_Eyes
“The waiving of immunity is a social necessity to break the cycle of impunity, subject public servants to the law & enable the judiciary to perform its functions independently & to hold perpetrators accountable." - @Ghidaf from @IjCoalition
"The judiciary, through its independence & its commitment to achieving justice, is our only hope. If the perpetrators are not held accountable today, nothing will remain of our country tomorrow.” - Rima Zahed, Committee of the Families of Victims of the Beirut Port Explosion
The “crucial role of media outlets in supporting the path towards justice in any democratic society and their duty to act as a force of positive change.” - @Tonymekhael from @FoECoalition and @Maharat_Lebanon
