Parliament and Judges Face Challenges in Applying Amnesty Law
The general amnesty law was approved in Lebanon, leading to legal and political protests. Immediately after the vote, the Strong Lebanon Bloc, led by Gebran Bassil, filed an appeal before the Constitutional Council, while another deputy is seeking to gather signatures to file a second challenge. The practical application of the law faces difficulties due to amendments made to the eligible categories, particularly regarding drug traffickers, as the list of beneficiaries was expanded after the text was revised to include those with two prior convictions. Penalties will vary depending on the case, with the establishment of a central committee to review detainees' records. However, the final text raises doubts about its compliance with official sources.
