Fatah Yaa' ouad on death penalty abolition attempt
The article discusses an attempt to undermine the cancellation of the death penalty law in Lebanon by linking it to the general amnesty law, aiming to prevent Islamists from benefiting from reduced sentences. An amendment was added to the draft law concerning the enforcement of sentences, which restricts the beneficiaries and makes it more difficult to reduce sentences, especially since the enforcement law does not automatically allow for replacing or reducing the death penalty except under strict conditions and exceptions that include national security crimes. Members of the Lebanese Forces and some Sunni MPs rejected this combination, considering that its purpose is to bypass the general amnesty law and prevent the release of certain detainees, notably Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir. This threatens reform efforts and increases the risks of marginalizing justice. Some also fear that exploiting the amendment to restrict access to the amnesty would hinder its progress and expose it to political disputes. Experts emphasize that revisiting amendments to the amnesty laws directly is the simplest and clearest solution for achieving reform.
