Lebanese Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rai said it was unacceptable to undermine the independence of the judiciary, calling for “the trial of all the corrupt who squandered public money,” instead of holding one party “accountable for the practices that took place over the past 30 years.”
Speaking during the Sunday Mass sermon, Rai said: “It is not acceptable to allow practices that undermine constitutional institutions, and it is unacceptable to overthrow the independence and integrity of the judiciary.”
