State Prosecutor at the Beirut Court of Appeal, Judge Zaher Hamade, has released the relatives of the Beirut port blast victims whom he summoned for questioning against the backdrop of the storming of the Justice Palace last week.

The Judge asked the relatives to sign a pledge in which they undertake not to attack public properties and law enforcement, and to keep their protests peaceful.

The Judge also requested the transfer of William Noun and Peter Bou Saab -- brothers of martyrs Joe Noun and Joe Bou Saab, respectively -- from Barbar al-Khazen police station in Verdun to the General Directorate of the State Security agency in Ramlet al-Bayda for further questioning ahead of their release.
