The Public Prosecutor of the Mount Lebanon Appellate Court, Judge Ghada Aoun, denied in a statement "reports from yesterday in the media that the disciplinary council's decision to dismiss me from the judiciary is based on a lawsuit filed by the Speaker of the House Nabih Berri against the Islamic University." She affirmed that "this news is entirely untrue, as there is no file related to this matter in the files of the Mount Lebanon Public Prosecutor's Office."
