Public Prosecutor Opposes Amnesty Ruling
The article discusses the decision of Lebanon's Public Prosecutor General, Judge Ahmed Rami Al-Hajj, who began implementing the amnesty law by issuing a circular instructing appellate and financial public prosecutors to obtain criminal records and documentation of ongoing investigations before processing pardon requests. This approach contradicts the Constitutional Council's ruling. The council had specified that repeated prosecutions are not a grounds for denying amnesty unless there are final, binding judgments, which the new circular ignores. This has raised a legal issue, as decisions by the Constitutional Council are binding on all authorities. The circular appears to aim at restricting certain groups from benefiting from the amnesty based on political backgrounds, which is considered to be unlawful and in violation of the council's rulings.
