Attorney Mark Habqa: Amnesty not case-specific
Lawyer Mark Habqa confirmed that the general amnesty must be comprehensive and apply to everyone without discrimination or selectivity. It should not be based on political or populist considerations. He stated that any amnesty law that disregards justice, equality, and the rule of law is considered an arbitrary law that perpetuates discrimination among Lebanese, especially concerning those tried before the military court, which is viewed as an exceptional authority. He warned that legislation and the judiciary should be guided by the principles of justice and equality, and that manipulating these principles threatens citizens’ trust in the state. Furthermore, he added that true general amnesty should not be tailored to specific individuals or cases but must be applied to everyone in accordance with the constitutional principle of equality.
