The newly formed activist group dubbed the People's Court asserted on Sunday that they have filed a complaint against Environment Minister Mohammed al-Mashnouq for neglecting the waste management crisis that led to the spread of diseases.
“We filed a complaint against the Environment Minister for his administrative violations and for neglecting the trash crisis that led to the spread of diseases,” the activists said in a press conference they held in Marty Square in downtown Beirut.
“The people should govern and decide. We are on the lookout and we will continue the same as we started,” they said.
“We will take part in the demos that will be held on September 9,” they added, calling on everyone to take part in the mass demonstration coinciding with a dialogue session at parliament that Speaker Nabih Berri called for.
The activists also demanded a “new modern electoral law that respects the constitutions and paves way for political reform.”
