COVID-19 and military justice (Lebanon)

Protesters in Lebanon are objecting to the government's reliance on COVID-19 as a reason to keep the courts closed (and their fellow-protesters in military detention). Details here. "One of the spokespersons for the protesters present called on the magistrates not to "justify the detentions by closing the courts and to set up procedures by electronic means to allow the release of these detainees, while justice is almost at shutdown in the country due to the coronavirus pandemic."
