Al-Kaiki and Al-Qusifi Critique Al-Anani's Media Law
The article focused on a message sent by the President of the Lebanese Press Federation, Aouni Kekkai, and the President of the Journalists' Syndicate, Joseph Al-Kassab, to the Director of UNESCO during his visit to Lebanon. They expressed their support for the new media law, while also voicing their concerns about some flaws and inconsistencies within the law. They clarified that Article 104, which criminalizes journalists and imposes imprisonment on them, along with Subsection H of Article 115, which allows for the establishment of uncoordinated unions, threaten the unity of the media body and press freedom. They called for amendments to ensure a comprehensive law that respects Lebanon's particularities and strengthens national unity. They also expressed their readiness to engage in dialogue to reach a law that balances modernization with the stability of the media sector.
