Amnesty discussion between Berri and Sunni MPs
The article confirmed that the majority of Sunni MPs agreed on a general amnesty proposal that includes replacing the death penalty with life imprisonment, setting the prison term at 17 years, and releasing those who have already served 14 years. This would enable the release of approximately 100 detainees from the Islamist group. The amendments were discussed within the Parliament, facing criticism from some Sunni deputies who accused their colleagues of threatening the rights of their sect. However, they eventually approved the proposal. It is expected that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri will call for a legislative session to ratify the law.
