Judge Aoun Explains Withdrawal of Complaint Against Hawat

The Public Prosecutor of Mount Lebanon, Judge Ghada Aoun, clarified on Twitter the reason for her withdrawal from the complaint she filed against MP Ziad Hawat. She stated: "I submitted this complaint primarily to defend the dignity of every humiliated judge, but when I found that this lawsuit exacerbated the spirit of division between two Lebanese parties and intensified the conflict, I preferred to sacrifice my rights, for the peace of the nation and the homeland transcends everything."
