Are criminals released while journalists are jailed
The article discusses the risks of Lebanon's new media law, especially regarding the interpretation of provisions such as Article 104, which criminalizes “fabricating falsehoods” and “spreading false and harmful news.” It highlights that ambiguous language in the law opens the door to various and conflicting interpretations, potentially leading to the imprisonment of journalists and writers based on unclear judgments. The author clarifies that a prison sentence of up to three years threatens media freedom, calling for the law to be rewritten in clear terms that limit arbitrary interpretations and prevent ambiguity from being exploited for political or personal gain.
