Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos said Tuesday that an indictment in the 2020 Beirut port blast will be issued within the next few months, adding that the investigation has entered its “final stages,” Anadolu reports.
“Judicial investigations are no longer facing obstruction under the mandate of the current government,” Morcos told Anadolu on the sidelines of a sit-in organized by families of the victims on the sixth anniversary of the explosion.
He did not provide further details on the course of the investigation or the obstacles it had faced.
The sit-in was held near the Beirut port at a memorial for firefighters killed in the blast, with dozens of victims’ relatives renewing their demand for the truth to be revealed and those responsible to be held accountable.
