Lebanese Amnesty Criticizes Ignoring Prisoner Grievances
The article addresses the controversy surrounding the general amnesty law in Lebanon. The Lebanese Initiative for General Amnesty condemned the stance of the Lebanese Judges Club, describing their statements about prisoners' suffering as an "assumed injustice," which reflects a neglect of the reality of prisons and the hardships faced by inmates, including prolonged detentions, deteriorating medical care, and increasing mortality cases, as well as issues like torture and political interference in justice. The Initiative confirms that the amnesty law was enacted by the Parliament with the approval of national and religious authorities, aiming to address the repercussions of the prison crisis, which has been the result of years of judicial and administrative accumulation, and not solely the law's responsibility. The Initiative calls on the Judges Club to reconsider its positions, emphasizing that the application of justice requires holding accountable those involved in corruption within the justice system and torture. Respect for the judiciary is not achieved through statements alone but through actions that promote justice and support the victims of injustice.
