Lebanon Considers Ending Death Penalty
Lebanon is moving towards permanently abolishing the death penalty after the Parliamentary Management and Justice Committee voted on the draft law, a step that marks the end of more than two decades of work on the issue. Since 2004, no executions have been carried out, but the penalty remained in the law. With the approval of the law, those convicted will face life imprisonment instead of death. Advocates for abolition emphasize that such punishment does not bring victims back, and they see the move as reflecting a humane approach that seeks to protect life and promote social justice. The focus is also on supporting the families of victims and achieving a form of justice that is not rooted in revenge.
