Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited the Ministry of Justice in Beirut this morning to assess the state of the judicial sector amid the country’s ongoing challenges.
During his tour, President Aoun addressed judges directly, urging them to uphold fairness and resist external influence. “Judge fairly and per the law; do not acquit a criminal, do not convict an innocent person and do not yield to pressure or intimidation,” he stated.
The President met with Minister of Justice Judge Adel Nassar and emphasized the crucial role of the judiciary and the need to reinforce justice during this critical period for Lebanon.
Following his visit to the ministry, President Aoun proceeded to the Supreme Judicial Council alongside Minister Nassar, where he met with Council President Judge Suhail Abboud. He later met with Public Prosecutor Judge Jamal al-Hajjar, joined by Judges Abboud, Nassar and Ayman Oweidat, President of the Judicial Inspection Authority.
The President also met with Acting Deputy Public Prosecutor Judge Dora Khazen, in the presence of the same senior judicial figures.
