Nasrallah criticizes amnesty arguments
Political activist and lawyer Antoine Naccarallah confirmed that the enactment of the general amnesty law in Lebanon is unjustified given the absence of clear reasons. He argued that the law should have been issued after the end of the civil war to promote national reconciliation. He added that the justifications often cited to support the law, such as delaying trials, are insufficient. The real solution, he believes, is to expedite trials and hold responsible judges, rather than issuing an amnesty law with broad exemptions that reduce penalties. He also emphasized that the law should focus on specific crimes within a defined timeframe. He pointed out that exempting banking crimes and individuals who fired at the army does not align with the current stage, and the core issue lies in the need to reform and activate the judiciary and prisons. The parliament’s move to issue this general amnesty should have been backed by well-considered reasons, and it must lead to accelerating justice to achieve social and security justice.
