Media Law Poses Press Freedom Risks

The President of the Lebanese Syndicate of Press Editors, Aouni Khaiki, and Joseph Al-Kasifi issued a statement expressing their concern about the new media law, which was approved in the Parliament without a detailed discussion or the opportunity for the promised amendments. The statement emphasizes that the law reflects a trend toward restricting press and media freedom through oppressive provisions aimed at constraining journalists and media unions, and that it threatens to terrorize media professionals and prolong their imprisonment and indebtedness. The two journalists assert that the law lacks modernity and will lead to greater chaos, and they anticipate that the upcoming amendments could be decisive. They warn that any implementation that is not subject to amendments could pose a serious threat to press freedom in Lebanon.
