2020年贝鲁特港爆炸事件受害者的家属试图闯入黎巴嫩首都的正义宫,抗议对爆炸事件的调查缺乏进展。

2020年8月4日,数百吨硝酸铵爆炸,造成至少218人死亡,这是历史上有记录的最大的非核爆炸。

这一事件让受害者家属和许多其他黎巴嫩人一再对国家感到失望,并等待正义。

最近,比塔尔法官恢复调查的努力遭到了黎巴嫩司法和政治机构的抵制。

安全部队星期四打退了亲比塔尔的抗议者,他们试图进入正义宫,他们打破了大门的锁。

“这里的人们很愤怒,”半岛电视台的泽纳·霍德尔(Zena Khodr)在抗议活动中报道说,那里爆发了混战。“两年多来,他们一直在要求伸张正义和问责,但调查没有取得任何进展,而且由于政治干预而一再停滞。”

最新的进展涉及比塔尔和黎巴嫩最高检察官加桑·奥韦达特之间的法律摊牌。黎巴嫩的司法系统容易受到政治的影响,许多任命都是由政治家决定的。

比塔尔周一宣布恢复调查。此前,由于法律投诉和高层政治压力,他的调查暂停了13个月。

但奥韦达特表示反对,称比塔尔无权回避这些投诉。他对法官提出指控,并释放了仍被关押的其余被拘留者,作为调查的一部分。

比塔尔告诉半岛电视台,他将继续调查,并称奥韦达特的行为是非法的。

“自从爆炸发生后,就有人要求进行国际调查,因为这是一个有有罪不罚文化的国家,”Khodr说。“遇难者家属认为,如果进行国内调查,就永远不会有正义。”

最高检察官的举动不受受害者家属的欢迎。

“这是司法丑闻,”周四抗议的律师阿里·阿巴斯(Ali Abbas)表示。“遇难者家属被冤枉了。他们完全无视这一罪行。”

黎巴嫩最高司法委员会将于星期四举行会议,讨论港口爆炸事件调查的进展。

受害者家属表示,他们担心该国最高级别的法官可能决定将比塔尔从案件中除名,或者任命一名补充法官,这将有效削弱比塔尔的权力。

比塔尔星期三对路透社说,奥韦达特“无权”提出指控或释放被拘留者,因为奥韦达特本人已经因爆炸事件受到指控。

奥韦达特还发布了对比塔尔的旅行禁令,并决定说法官无权恢复他的调查。
