Mi Shadiahak to set date for media law review
The article focused on the efforts of the "May Chidiac" Foundation – Media Institute (MCFMI) to resume the discussion and approval of the Media Law in Lebanon, a process that has been pending after a legislative journey lasting sixteen years. The foundation expressed its regret over the lack of a vote on the law during the sessions of the Lebanese Parliament's General Assembly, pointing out that delaying its approval keeps Lebanese journalists subject to outdated penal laws, despite the presence of reformist provisions aimed at updating the legal framework and protecting freedom of opinion and expression. The foundation emphasized the importance of passing a modern media law that keeps pace with developments and strengthens freedoms, with a particular focus on addressing Article 104 concerning false news and misinformation during the upcoming legislative session. It called for setting a close date to discuss the law comprehensively.
