Lebanon General Amnesty: Who Leaves or Stays
Lebanon has enacted the General Amnesty Law No. 70 after it was signed by President Joseph Aoun. This law grants a comprehensive amnesty for crimes committed before March 1, 2026, resulting in the dismissal of public charges and the annulment of the associated penalties. The law excludes crimes related to the Judicial Council, intentional homicide, treason, espionage, as well as offenses linked to sexual assaults, domestic violence, and torture. Penalties not covered by the amnesty include increases or decreases in prison sentences and the release of detainees after serving 12 years without a verdict. The law comes into effect immediately upon publication in the Official Gazette and aims to bring significant changes to Lebanon’s judicial files.
