The Association of Families of Victims of the Port Explosion issued a statement this evening, clarifying that the purpose of its earlier statement today, in which it warned against moves that might lead to fueling tension in the country or being drawn into street chaos, was to block any sedition attempt of any kind.

However, the Association emphasized that it “highly appreciates the keenness of the October 17 groups, the civil movement, the ‘N’ group, in addition to the free and independent sovereign forces and all groups that have continued to support the movements of the families of the port victims since the moment of the fateful explosion, in confronting the nitrate system and its tools, including politicians, security officials, administrators, and even some judges, most recently being the discriminatory public prosecutor who transgresses his jurisdiction and his position and powers as the first defender of rights and society to the position of protector of tyrants and criminals.”
