Al-Qusayfi: Media Lawamendment Addresses Press Concerns
A delegation from the Lebanese Journalists Syndicate, headed by President Jozef Kaselfi, rejected the new media law, expressing concerns that certain articles might restrict press freedom. They specifically objected to Article 104, which they call for amending to remove penalties involving imprisonment, and Section H of Article 115 related to the formation of unions. They also demanded a clear definition of who qualifies as a journalist or media professional. An agreement was reached to communicate with the parliament to develop a standard formula that safeguards the interests of the unions. Additionally, MP Gebran Bassil expressed his readiness to discuss the amendments objectively to end disagreements and serve Lebanon's best interests and media freedom.
