Khoury Files Suit against his Dismissal from Port Blast Case

Attorney General Judge Ghassan Khoury filed Friday a lawsuit before the Court of Cassation against Judge Randa Kfoury and the counselors of the Court's Sixth Chamber to “rectify the grave error they did” by dismissing him from the Beirut port blast case.

Khoury requested the annulment of the decision “because of the grave errors it contains,” saying that “if adopted, it will lead to the disruption of the work of the Public Prosecutions all over Lebanon.”

“The ruling will make every judge subject to recusal,” the Attorney General said.

He noted that he is “deliberately failing to attend the sessions of the Sixth Chamber of the Court of Cassation as a result of this jurisprudence that violates legal principles.”
