The Lebanese judiciary has opened an investigation into the circumstances of the killing of the activist Luqman Salim, whose body was found in a car in southern Lebanon, and the United Nations Coordinator in Lebanon called for a prompt and transparent investigation of the accident.
Based on the indications of the Appeal General Prosecutor in the South, Judge Rahaif Ramadan, the body of the activist Luqman Salim was transferred to the Saida Governmental Hospital, after the forensic doctor finished examining her, and it was found that she had five gunshot wounds, four in the head and one in the back.
The United Nations Coordinator in Lebanon, Jan Kubi, said in a tweet via Twitter: “I am deeply disturbed by the tragic loss of Qomman Salim, a respected activist, journalist and independent, honest and courageous voice. I ask the authorities to investigate this tragedy quickly and transparently and draw the necessary conclusions.”
He added, “This investigation should not follow this pattern of the investigation into the Beirut port explosion, which after six months remained inconclusive and without accountability … People must know the truth.”
