Law to abolish death penalty aimed to sabotage amnesty
The article concerns an attempt by the Shiite duo to sabotage the abolition of the death penalty law in Lebanon. This is done by including a clause linking it to the general amnesty law, with the aim of preventing Islamists and the oppressed from benefiting from reduced sentences or amnesty—particularly Sheikh Ahmed Al-Asir. The text shows that the proposed amendments impose strict conditions on beneficiaries and connect them to Law No. 463 for the enforcement of penalties, which does not automatically reduce the death penalty. This complicates their implementation and makes it difficult for the oppressed to benefit. The discussion emphasizes the need to amend the general amnesty law directly to align with the intended goals, rather than tying it to the enforcement law, in order to ensure justice and achieve the desired legal reforms. The opposing MPs express concerns that these amendments are aimed at protecting drug traffickers and discriminating among prisoners based on political interests, which threatens the rights of the oppressed and hampers the processes of amnesty and legal reform in Lebanon.
