Legislative session day two: amnesty debated, Banking Reform Law approved

During the legislative session of the House of Representatives, the general amnesty law was discussed. It was approved with amendments related to trials and release procedures, including reducing the prison sentences required from 14 to 12 years and removing the word "sentence" from the law, making the release applicable only to those without previous convictions. Additionally, a bill to amend the law on reforming and reorganizing banks in Lebanon was approved, with modifications to provisions concerning shareholders, deposit guarantees, and the banking authority. Deputies emphasized the importance of this law for economic stability amid extensive discussions and some deputies boycotting the session. Deputy Speaker of Parliament Eias Bou Saab stressed the need to respect the military institution and considered the amnesty law an important step toward closing a difficult chapter of the past. He also pointed out that the government is responsible for correcting discrimination and re-examining previous trials.
