Journalists and Editors Request Media Law Repeal

The Lebanese Press Union and the Journalists' Syndicate discussed their rejection of the proposed media law draft, stressing that the law is filled with loopholes and restricts journalists' freedoms through provisions such as Article 104, which continues to permit the prosecution of media professionals for "publication crimes." Both unions also warned against the move to license new syndicates, which could fragment the journalistic community and legitimize sectarian and regional divisions. They called for the withdrawal of the draft law and for extensive consultations to develop a modern legal framework that addresses current challenges.
