The article extensively criticizes the media law signed by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun without prior consultation with the Journalists Syndicate and the Free Editors Syndicate, raising fears of a decline in media freedoms in Lebanon. The writer expresses disappointment that the President did not respect the historic role of the press in Lebanon. He emphasizes that the new law restricts press freedom and undermines previous achievements that protected freedom of expression, such as the abolition of imprisonment for journalists announced by the late President Rafiq Hariri in 1994. The article also condemns political interference in the drafting of the law and finds that some of the proposed penalties could lead to the suppression of free speech, expressing concern that this law represents a black mark in the country's media freedom trajectory.
