Bou Aasi: Forces proposed death penalty abolition
The article focused on the efforts of the Lebanese Forces to abolish the death penalty in Lebanon. MP Pierre Bou Assi explained that society should prioritize human life as a core value, emphasizing that the abolition of the penalty is supported internationally, citing initiatives by the former French Minister of Justice. He stated that the position is ethical and philosophical, centered on protecting life and dignity, advocating for strict punishments such as life imprisonment instead of execution. He also pointed out that international studies do not prove that the death penalty deters crime, and that the alternative is severe punishments. There is a possibility that the law will be passed in a future legislative session after extensive discussions and consensus.
