Rifi: Court overstepped bounds
It has recently been reported that the Constitutional Council made serious mistakes and exceeded its authority regarding the amendments to Lebanon's Amnesty Law, which were introduced after a legal challenge was filed against it. Deputy Ashraf Rifi confirmed that the latest amendments infringe upon the rights of a broad segment of Lebanese citizens and constitute a violation of the previously agreed-upon settlement. He also criticized the absence of some council members during the sessions, considering that this undermines legitimacy. Additionally, the widow of Sheikh Ahmed Al-Asir stated that the amendments targeted her husband's case, describing them as a political and moral attack on the Sunni community. There have been calls to address the injustice and promote justice. Lawyer Muhammad Sablouh argued that the amendments violate the Taif Agreement and represent a serious constitutional precedent, calling for a unified stance to confront what has been described as an attack on a fundamental component of the country.
