Disciplinary council expels Judge Ghada Aoun

W460

The judiciary's disciplinary council issued Thursday a ruling expelling Mount Lebanon Public Prosecutor Judge Ghada Aoun from the judiciary.

Aoun will appeal against the ruling, media reports said, which will halt its implementation until a final decision is taken by the Higher Judicial Council.

Meanwhile, a group of lawyers and protestors rallied in front of the Justice Palace to support Aoun ahead of the disciplinary council's session.

"Judge Aoun will resume her duties after filing an appeal, until a final decision is taken," a lawyer said.

Aoun was expelled after Judge Jamal al-Hajjar summoned her for legal "violations" including media and social media statements, as judges are not allowed to make public comment on their cases.

I never anticipated the arrival of this day. However, I am left to ponder what future career prospects await an individual with such a tarnished ethical reputation. Perhaps modeling as mentioned by Galak? or president of our banana republic?

Instead of being expelled from the judiciary, she should've been handcuffed and taken to Romieh prison.

The good news is that Ghada Aoun can now concentrate on her Hollywood career. She's already signed on to star in the upcoming Minions live action movie. She will be reprising the role of Tattoo on the Fantasy Island reboot, a role made famous by the late Hervé Villechaize. Ms Aoun will also soon be unveiled as "Karen", ventriloquist Jeff Dunham's new dummy. We all wish her good luck, break a leg or two, Ghada, you deserve it.

According to an article in a local Kentucky newspaper, farmers are seeking individuals who bear a resemblance to Ghada Aoun, offering compensation in the form of ‘fresh dollars’ for their services. The sole requirement of this job opportunity is to simply stand in the midst of cornfields, with an optional task of posting photos on Twitter.

Jim, let me tell you, that woman is no different from the rest of them. She's only looking out for herself and trying to grab a bigger share of the spoils, which is precisely why her competitors have turned on her. It's worth remembering that according to the former Minister of the Interior, a staggering 95% of all magistrates are corrupt.
