Scores of Lebanese rallied Thursday outside Judge Fadi Sawwan’s house in Beirut after he paused the probe into the Beirut port explosion for ten days.
The protesters urged Sawwan to keep up his investigation.
“Put on trial all the security officials,” one banner read. Another said: “It is our right to know who killed us.”

Judge Fadi Sawwan on 10 December issued charges against former caretaker prime minister Hassan Diab and high-ranking former ministers Ali Hassan Khalil, Ghazi Zaiter and Youssef Fenianos over the 4 August blast.
Former justice minister and ex-Internal Security Forces head Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi said Thursday that he has testified before Judge Fadi Sawwan that Iran had sent the ammonium nitrate shipment that eventually caused the August 4 catastrophic explosion at Beirut’s port.
“As I said in my testimony before Judicial Investigator Judge Fadi Sawwan, I reiterate that the ammonium nitrates were sent to Lebanon by the Iranian revolutionary guard for the benefit of Hizbullah,” Rifi said in a statement.
The statement comes in response to a lawsuit filed against him by the Gathering of Hizbullah’s Lawyers. The lawsuit accuses Rifi of “incitement, stirring discord and jeopardizing civil peace” in connection with similar accusations he made in the wake of the blast.
