Port blast victims' relatives demand justice, two months before anniversary

Relatives of the Beirut port blast victims rallied Thursday in front of the Justice Palace to demand justice for their loved ones.

They said they will rally every Thursday, as they burned tires to protest the obstruction of the blast's probe.

"We are preparing an organized and large protest for the third anniversary of the blast," William Noun -- whose brother, a fireman, was killed in the devastating August 4, 2020 blast -- said.

The investigators into the Beirut port blast had attempted to question a former premier and four ex-ministers over the tragedy, but the probe was repeatedly obstructed before being suspended.
