File of Assault on the Rioters ... The integrity of the Public Prosecution Office is Fading Away

After UFL attorneys filed a legal lawsuit against members of the security forces before the Public Prosecution Office of the appeal in Beirut on January 13, 2020, against the background of the attack on the minor Hadi Yazbek without any reason while he was with the peaceful rioters between Al-Shuhada square and Riyadh Al-Solh square, the Judicial decision to save the lawsuit was issued on January 27, 2020, despite the attached documents, photos and videos that prove conclusive evidence that more than 10 riot control agents specifically implicated the crime of beating and intentionally harm  a child who mainly suffers from chronic health diseases, and after repeated reviews of UFL attorneys and the submission of a request to expand the investigation several times, and after the repeated revisions of UFL’s attorneys and the submission of the request to expand the investigation several times, the Public Prosecution office rejected the request and confirmed once again that the lawsuit was preserved and decided to take action to hold the perpetrators accountable and compensate the aggressor for damage.

It is worth noting that it is not the only lawsuit related to the assault on peaceful rioters, in which no decision was issued to hold any of the aggressors accountable, whether from the security forces or from the political party thugs (including the criminal lawsuit submitted by UFL on November 1, 2019 before the Public Prosecutor's discrimination, and another was submitted on June 11,  2020, and others ...),  UFL is following this case, in addition to other cases, very diligently before the Judiciary, but the bitter truth is that the task of some Judges, unfortunately, has become to protect the corrupt instead of punishing them, and to wrap files instead of examining cases and relying on the constitution and state laws.
