Army crackdown targets Sunni community
Lebanon has abolished the death penalty after a long-standing debate spanning many years. The parliament decided to eliminate it and implement an amendment that reduces the sentence to 17 years instead of life imprisonment, allowing detainees who have served 12 years to review their cases and be retried. This came as part of political settlements made during a session of the House of Representatives and is considered an important step in the field of human rights, as the punishment was among the harshest in the region. The session was postponed until today to discuss the final amendments to the law.
