Bassil Questions 24 Solidarity Government on Pardons
Amid widespread controversy in Lebanon, the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, indicated that his parliament's approval of a third general amnesty law deepens impunity and is considered a setback for justice, especially after the country made positive strides by abolishing the death penalty. He also criticized government policies, calling for not undermining the military's prestige, which is tasked with fighting Hezbollah and terrorism, while at the same time punishing the killers of soldiers and perpetrators of crimes against the army. This comes amid increasing legal and political criticisms, with comments from judges and activists who argue that the law advances at the expense of justice and the rule of law, while others express fears that impunity and the protection of criminals will continue.
