Kubis criticizes use of excessive force by security forces during clashes with protesters
United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis called on the Lebanese authorities on Monday to carry out investigations over the weekend’s incidents as well as of “the use of excessive force by the security forces.”
“The violence and clashes over the weekend once again showed that postponements of a political solution of the current crisis create a fertile ground for provocations and political manipulation,” Kubis said via his Twitter account.
“Identification of instigators of violence, investigation of the incidents as well as of use of excessive force by the security forces is necessary, also to prevent sliding down towards more aggressive and confrontational behavior of all,” he went on saying.
Earlier in the day, Kubis also criticized the postponement of the binding parliamentary consultations to name a new Prime Minister until Thursday.
“Yet another postponement of the parliamentary consultations. Either a sign that following the events and statements of the last days politicians start to understand that they cannot neglect the voice of the people, or another attempt to buy time for business as usual,” Kubis tweeted.
“But with the collapsing economy it is a risky hazard both for the politicians but even more so for Lebanon and its people,” he added.
