Lebanese Judge Ghassan Ouweidat meeting with Prime Minister Hassan Diab and Judge Mahmoud Makieh at the governmental palace in Beirut on January 28, 2020.
On Tuesday, he charged eight more figures, including Lebanon's top prosecutor Oueidat and the three judges, with "homicide, arson and sabotage", said the judicial official on condition of anonymity.One of history's biggest non-nuclear explosions destroyed most of Beirut port and surrounding areas on August 4, 2020, killing more than 215 people and injuring over 6,500.
In total, 13 people are being prosecuted, including five officials whom Bitar indicted earlier, among them former prime minister Hassan Diab and former ministers. Iran-backed Hezbollah and its ally Amal called for demonstrations to demand his dismissal in October 2021, when a gun battle broke out at a Beirut rally, and seven people were killed.
