Amendments to General Amnesty Law before Voting
In preparation for the enactment of the general amnesty law in Lebanon, parliamentary forces are getting ready to include it on the agenda of the upcoming legislative session. The proposed amendments focus on reducing prison sentences to a maximum of 17 years and replacing life imprisonment with tough physical labor. These amendments respond to political understandings and aim to pass a just law that alleviates injustices faced by those convicted for political reasons, including Islamist detainees. The amnesty proposal is also linked to the abolition of the death penalty. A special committee will conduct meetings with parliamentary blocs and authorities to ensure the law's passage through consensus before submitting it to the General Assembly for approval.
