A gallows has been installed in Lebanese Capital Beirut as furious public demands to hang corrupt politicians. People are demanding punishment for those (Corrupt politicians) responsible for Beirut port’s explosion which caused hundreds of deaths and thousands in injuries on Tuesday, August 4, 2020. Watch the video, below.
According to details, massive protests have been started in Beirut after people’s grief turned into anger against Country’s corrupt politicians. The furious public is building Gallows and demanding to hang corrupt politicians.
Although the explosion’s exact cause remains unclear, the Lebanese public has accused the entrenched political class of failing to protect civilians and falling short in the relief response.
Soon after the explosion on Tuesday, the government officials have said a huge shipment (2750 Tons Estimated) of hazardous ammonium nitrate was stored for years in a warehouse at the port and somehow caught fire, leading to Tuesday’s earth-shaking blast. The government has failed to remove this material amid the warnings of safety experts for months.
Lebanon’s President Michel Aoun vowed “swift justice”, but most of the citizens don’t have faith in the government’s probe.
On Thursday, Justice Minister Marie-Claude Najm had tried to walk through the Gemmayzeh neighbourhood, a few hundred meters (yards) from the port.
“Minister of corruption, not a minister of justice!” chanted young people who were volunteering to clean up the debris from the destroyed city.
“If you had any honour, you’d resign,” one woman yelled with anger and outrage. Watch the video, below.
Education Minister Tarek Majzoub sought to change that perception on Friday, bringing a broom to the ruined Quarantine-centre’s neighbourhood to join crowds sweeping up shards of glass and other debris.
But he was met with furious chants of “Resign,” “The people want the fall of the regime,” and “Prepare the gallows!”
