Khoury Warns against Turning Judiciary into a 'Victim'
Minister of Justice Henry Khoury warned Wednesday against turning the port blast case into a “judicial drama.”
Khoury felt sorry for the “unprecedented violation of the sanctity of the Palace of Justice.”
The minister stressed that the Palace should remain “a safe haven for lawyers and judges to practice their mission and duties away from any pressures.”
Khoury advised against the “classification of judges” and “vilifying” or “supporting” them, saying that these alignments in the port blast case “will distort the truth.”
He also affirmed that the probe will continue, emphasizing that he, as a minister, is keen on protecting the judicial body “from becoming a victim” before it acquires the port blast victims’ rights.
