Judge Aoun to the Supreme Judicial Council: To stop targeting judges to intimidate them

The Appeal Public Prosecutor in Mount Lebanon, Judge Ghada Aoun, sent a letter to the Supreme Judicial Council, urging it to intervene to stop the “repressive campaigns once morest judges” and “targeting them to intimidate them.”

She said: «To the Supreme Judicial Council, to those entrusted with the mission of preserving the rule of law by preserving the prestige of the judiciary and imposing its respect. Most of what can be summed up in describing the current stage can be summed up in two words: targeting judges to intimidate them. Sometimes I was targeted with slander and insults, as happened yesterday in the episode “The Time Has Come,” and at times Jean Tannous or Amani Salama, and once more, Mariana Anani. Why? Because they dared to open files that influential people in this country do not want to open in order to generalize the rule of impunity.”

She added: “Please, this moral decline in dealing with a judge once morest the background of a file opened by Ghanem and lawyer Habaka cannot be tolerated, even in the Maumau Islands. So, how if we are in a country that claims that its capital is the mother of the laws? Therefore, I appeal to you to intervene to stop these ferocious campaigns once morest judges, at least not only to preserve the prestige of the judge, but to not generalize the phenomenon of media immorality and impunity.”
