Higher Judicial Council chairman, Chief Justice Faisal Al-Marshad, noted in a statement issued today that he had apprised the office of the public prosecutor to look into " the lying, mendacity, deceit, and falsehood" that sprung out of last night's rally at the Erada square by an opposition group.
He slammed some of the speakers at the rally for slandering the judiciary and defaming them by disparaging the work they do for the benefit of society.
He decried attempts of those speakers at interjecting the nation's judiciary in the midst of political wrangling and promised that their defamation of the judiciary would be handled to the full extent of the law by the office of the public prosecutor. He asked all those dabbling in public issues to exercise care and seek veracity of what they claim to avert any legal backlash.
