Proposal to end death penalty and revise sentence
The Lebanese Parliament approved a law to abolish the death penalty after its amendment, considering it a historic step towards strengthening human rights and developing the penal system. The text includes replacing the punishment with life imprisonment with hard labor for past and ongoing crimes, with the addition of the death penalty in certain military cases at the request of Deputy Paula Yacoubian. The law aims to protect the right to life, achieve justice more fairly, enhance international judicial cooperation, and reduce the likelihood of sentenced executions without review. Minister Adel Nassar confirmed that the abolition reflects Lebanon's commitment to international principles and is a significant achievement toward a more humane judicial system.
