Jean Kassir is a Lebanese journalist and the managing editor of the news website “Megaphone.” On 1 March 2023, Megaphone published an article titled “Lebanon Ruled by Fugitives from Justice,” in which Kassir accused Ghassan Oueidat, Prosecutor General of the Court of Cassation, of obstructing the investigation into the Beirut Port explosion. As a result, he received a court summons by two State Security officers who intercepted his car on 30 March 2023. Kassir’s representative, Attorney Diala Chehade, attended the hearing on his behalf and submitted a request to “establish the immunity guaranteed to journalists under the Publications Law regarding their journalistic work.”
