Lebanon: Verdict was rendered in trial in 2022 for murder of Irish peace
The provisional strength of the United Nations in Lebanon (Unifil) praised the conclusion of the trial in the murder of the Irish soldier of the Peace Soldier Seán Rooney almost three years ago.
The Permanent Military Court of Lebanon discovered six of those accused of guilty murder on Monday while another was acquitted, according to a mission statement.
“Unifil welcomes the conclusion of the process of trial and the commitment of the Government of Lebanon to translate the perpetrators into court,” he said.
Soldier Rooney, 24, was shot dead on December 14, 2022 during an incident in Al-Aqbieh, just outside the Unifil operations area in southern Lebanon. Three other “peacekeepers” were injured.
Since the attack, Unifil has extended its full support to the Lebanese and Irish authorities with their respective legal proceedings, according to the press release.
The mission has once again offered the greatest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues from the private of Rooney as well as to the government of Ireland.
