Beirut Court Dismisses Request for Medical Evaluation of Education Minister

A judge overseeing urgent matters in Beirut has rejected a petition filed by attorney Hassan Bazi seeking to appoint a forensic physician to examine the Minister of Education and assess her legal competency. The court determined that the requested procedure would require the minister's consent, making the petition inadmissible.

According to reports, the decision is expected to be appealed within hours, with Beirut's Civil Court of Appeals set to review the matter anew.
