Sarhan confirms perpetrators will be punished no matter what

Justice Minister Albert Sarhan on Wednesday said after inspecting the Palace of Justice in Beirut that the process of "self-purification" in the Lebanese judiciary was continuing and that things needed some time. 

"Perpetrators will be punished and the blameless will be publicly declared innocent," the minister affirmed. 

As for the situation of those arrested, the minister explained that their psychological condition was good. "They [arrestees] have praised the security forces and their good treatment," Sarhan added.
