Lebanese Parliament's Surprising Decision
The Lebanese Parliament officially decided to abolish the death penalty after voting on new legislation that repeals it from existing laws, marking the end of executions since 2004. The Minister of Justice hailed this decision as a historic step, confirming that its abolition facilitates the extradition of individuals sought by countries that do not impose the death penalty. France, the European Union, and international human rights organizations welcomed the move, viewing it as a reflection of Lebanon's commitment to the right to life and the promotion of human rights.
