Calls rise to withdraw media law draft
The Lebanese Press Union and the Journalists’ Union oppose the proposed media law draft and call for its withdrawal to conduct further study. They doubt the law’s ability to enhance media freedom and protect journalists, especially regarding Article 104, where the threat to journalists remains the possibility of imprisonment. They also reject classifying media violations as publishing crimes and oppose the licensing of new unions, which could further fragment the journalistic community and lead to regional or externally influenced unions. They urge the law’s withdrawal and the initiation of broad consultations to ensure the development of a modern law that addresses current challenges. They emphasize the importance of unity within the journalistic community in facing these issues.
