1/2 I am greatly disturbed by the tragic loss of Lokman Slim - a respected activist and journalist, a honest independent voice of courage. I request the authorities to investigate this tragedy in a speedy and transparent way and draw the necessary consequences

2/2 This investigation must not follow the pattern of the Beirut port blast investigation that 6 months on remains inconclusive and without accountability. People must know the truth.

1/2 Increased level of violence, notably during protests in Tripoli, with a number of injured, some gravely both among protesters and security forces is yet another message …

Visit of PM @Hassan_B_Diab to PM-D @saadhariri is a strong, courageous and positive move that can help overcome the current deadlock in the government formation process. I hope other steps and gestures of wisdom for the sake of Lebanon and its people will follow soon.

It is inhuman and irresponsible not to move forward with the technical investigation of the #Beirut port blast. How can people get compensation from insurance companies if there is no verdict what caused the blast?

Will the new administration in Washington finally move the parties to create a new government led by PM @saadhariri ? A new government doesn’t automatically mean the end of the crisis ,but no government just contributes to deepening of the collapse & the suffering of the people

The economy and financial, banking system is in shambles, social peace starts to crumble down, security incidents on the rise, the edifice of #Lebanon is shaking in its fundaments. And political leaders seem to wait for Biden. But this is Lebanon, not the USA.

The adoption of a law criminalizing sexual harassment by #Lebanon Parliament is a welcome step forward in consolidating women’s & human rights. I hope it will also help remove a barrier 4 the participation of women in public & political life. The key now is in its implementation!
BREAKING: 🇱🇧 Parliament just passed 2 laws: one to criminalize sexual harassment and rehabilitate its victims, being the first law in Lebanon to penalize preparators of sexual harassment & abuse
