House OKs death penalty repeal plan
During tonight's session, the Lebanese Parliament discussed several important files, most notably the approval of an amendment to the law abolishing the death penalty. The law was passed after introducing an amendment stating that harsh labor sentences, which previously carried life imprisonment, would be nullified, and the penalties would be increased after the amendments with the approval of 23 deputies. Additionally, the deputies resumed discussions on the media bill, which had been postponed, and a schedule of proposed amendments was distributed. Some deputies called for caution in discussing the amendments and suggested re-examining certain points. The session began with a tribute to the late former deputy Michel Mouloli. The deputies also discussed various topics, ranging from educational issues and diplomatic perspectives to regional and internal developments, highlighting the significance of the legislations and decisions before the Parliament in light of current circumstances.
