General amnesty releases 2,300 prisoners
The general amnesty law in Lebanon has been approved, granting the release of approximately 2,300 prisoners in the initial phase. Most of those benefiting are Islamists detainees. The law includes reductions in sentences for individuals condemned to death and life imprisonment. Its aim is to address the issue of overcrowding in prisons and delays in detentions, benefiting those whose legal procedures have been stalled. Expectations are that a large number will be released over the next three years, which will reduce congestion and strengthen judicial stability.
