Makhzumi Withdraws from Session Before Amnesty Law Vote Due to Arbitrary Version
The article addressed Deputy Fouad Makhzoumi's stance on the general amnesty bill in Lebanon. He emphasized that any amnesty law that does not guarantee justice, equality, and the rule of law, and that includes all detainees based on standardized criteria, is a selective law that enshrines discrimination. He explained that the proposed formulation was arbitrary and did not incorporate the previously agreed-upon amendments, which led to his withdrawal before the vote. He stressed that justice is indivisible and that amnesty must apply to all Lebanese without exception, affirming the necessity to prevent repeating the injustice faced by those tried before the military court, which is considered an exceptional tribunal incompatible with principles of justice.
