#WORLDWIDE #WORLD #BEIRUT #humanrightswatch #News #Journal #Update - Awaiting Answers One Year After Beirut Blast
Evidence implicates senior Lebanese officials in the August 4, 2020, explosion in Beirut that killed 218 people. But one year later, the scars of that devastating day remain etched in the city while survivors and families of the victims await answers.
A new report sets out evidence of longstanding corruption and mismanagement at the port, that allowed for tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a potentially explosive chemical compound, to be haphazardly and unsafely stored there for nearly six years.
The detonation of the chemical caused one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, pulverizing the port and damaging over half the city.
Lebanese officials’ failure to protect the public by not accurately communicating the dangers posed by the ammonium nitrate and knowingly storing the material in unsafe conditions should not go unaccounted for, despite their ongoing efforts to impede justice.
Gains by Taliban forces as the United States completes its troop withdrawal leaves the current Afghan state, and women’s rights in particular, uncertain.
On August 1, Belarusian track and field athlete Krystsina Timanovskaya refused to let government authorities forcibly return her to Belarus from the Olympics, seeking instead protection at Tokyo’s international airport. She has since reportedly been offered asylum in Poland.
