Dominicans demand justice after nightclub collapse ...Middle East

The roof of the Jet Set nightclub came crashing down in the early hours of April 8 on hundreds of people attending a concert by merengue star Rubby Perez, in the Caribbean nation's worst disaster in decades.

At least 38 lawsuits have been lodged against the club's owners.

“We want justice, because this has been very painful for all of us,“ 46-year-old Fanny Martinez, whose sister and niece died in the tragedy, told AFP.

Martinez's sister, who lived in Spain, and her niece, who worked at the Guatemalan Embassy in the Dominican Republic, were visiting the club for the first time.

An investigation has been opened and Dominican President Luis Abinader has vowed there will be “no government intervention” in the judicial process.

After the disaster President Luis Abinader said the government was drafting a bill making inspections mandatory.

The lawsuits include charges of manslaughter against the club's managers, and of negligence against various public institutions.
