Press and editors oppose new media law
The Lebanese Journalists' and Editors' Syndicates officially announce their rejection of the new media law, accompanied by legal and field threats to overturn it. This comes after the syndicates received promises from deputies of protests and reservations, but the session on August 11 was contrary to those commitments. They condemned the use of provisions that threaten journalists with imprisonment and fines, especially Article 104, and called for returning the law to Parliament for modifications that protect media freedoms. They also pledged not to recognize the law and to work towards its annulment through challenges before the Constitutional Council.
