Bassil opposes pardoning serious crimes
The leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, reaffirmed his rejection of the current version of the amnesty law, warning that its periodic approval encourages the commission of crimes and promotes impunity. He clarified that the law includes offenses such as premeditated murder and drug trafficking, and that it opposes keeping some prisoners without a fair trial. Bassil also denied that preventing the Minister of Defense from expressing his opinion on the amnesty law constitutes a violation of his authority, emphasizing that the law originates from the Members of Parliament, not the government, and that Article 67 of the Constitution guarantees the minister's authority to perform his duties.
