NNA - The families of the victims of the Beirut port explosion organized a stand this evening in front of the Lebanese emigrant statue, where Shadi Doughan (brother of the victim, Mohammad Doughan) read out a statement on behalf of the “Association of Families of the Victims of the Beirut Port Explosion,” in which he said: "Nearly two years have passed since the third largest explosion in the world occurred, while we still remain in same place because of the injustice and corruption of the ruling system that has destroyed our children with its criminality and is still continuing to abuse and criminalize those who survived."

In this context, Doughan regretted that the victms' families' repeated calls to the Minister of Finance to expedite the signing of the judicial formations decree were to no avail.

"Today, we ask you to stop the farcical and inhumane behavior, and to excercise your conscience for the sake of the souls of the victims, and sign the decree which you, and those behind you, have been obstructing," Doughan underlined in his statement on behalf of the victims' families, pledging to resort to other moves in case the Finance Minister fails to sign.
