Lebanese Parliament passes death penalty abolition
The Lebanese Parliament approved, on Tuesday, a bill to abolish the death penalty in the country after making amendments to it. Previously, crimes committed before this law were considered punishable by life imprisonment, but after the modifications, they are now classified as severe life sentences. This move took place during a legislative session that also discussed draft laws for general amnesty and the reduction of certain punishments. Meanwhile, public sector workers, retired military and civil staff are protesting the decision to installment their salaries and pensions, demanding improvements to their living and financial conditions.
