02:10Families of the Beirut port explosion victims protested, on Monday, by blocking roads and entrances to the Palace of Justice in Beirut and setting garbage cans on fire.
Several dozen relatives of victims gathered with banners and Lebanese flags in front of the Palace of Justice, demanding an end to corruption and the dismissal of investigating judge Tariq Bitar.
The Beirut port explosion of August 4, 2020, resulted in the deaths of around 200 people, injuring more than 6,000 and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.
The deadly blasts that left Lebanon in disarray are thought to have been caused by the still-unexplained ignition of 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a highly explosive chemical material that was reportedly stored without precautionary measures at the port.
