The Beirut Criminal Court, headed by Judge Bilal Dennawi and with the membership of advisors Judges Nadim Al-Nashif and Sarah Breish, set next May 6 as the date for issuing the ruling in the case of the attempted murder of the “Resistance Brigades” official in Sidon, Hilal Hammoud, in which the accused is artist Fadel Shaker, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Asir and four others. The session, which was held today at the Palace of Justice in Beirut, was devoted to hearing the presentation of the representative of the Public Prosecution of Appeal in Beirut, in addition to the argument of the prosecutor, as both parties requested the application of the articles of indictment against all defendants. On the other hand, the pleadings of the defense attorneys for the prisoner, Shaker, and the other defendants focused on questioning the foundations of the case, considering that it lacks evidence and legal facts, and is not based on firm data. They concluded by demanding that they stop pursuing their clients, and declare their innocence because no evidence has been proven against them. At the conclusion of the session, the court decided to adjourn it to the date of pronouncing the ruling on the sixth of next May.
