Army refuses amnesty for convicted person
Attention is focused on the Lebanese Parliament, where two sessions are scheduled under the chairmanship of Nabih Berri to discuss 14 main items. The most prominent include passing a law to abolish the death penalty, a media law, a proposed general amnesty, and amendments to banking laws and the customs enforcement agency. The sessions are marked by significant efforts to achieve political consensus, especially regarding the amnesty law, which enjoys widespread support. The law aims to eliminate grievances and achieve justice without being limited to Islamist detainees, replacing the death penalty with life imprisonment and allowing early releases for those who have served 12 years, with the possibility of trying them abroad. The army objects to including convicted individuals but emphasizes its refusal to open prisons without proper procedures. Discussions are primarily focused on passing the largest number of laws possible, amid demands from public sector employees and retirees for the implementation of their financial rights, and calls for protests to demand their rights.
