Al-Qassefi: Rami Naeem should not be jailed
The Lebanese Journalists Syndicate issued a statement criticizing the Court of Publications’ decision to imprison journalist and media figure Rami Naeem for one month and impose a fine of one billion Lebanese pounds. The statement pointed out that the Press Law abolished imprisonment as a penalty and replaced it with a fine. The syndicate confirmed that the ruling is subject to appeal within ten days and described it as a dangerous precedent that threatens press freedom. It also voiced its rejection of imprisoning journalists unless they commit serious crimes, and stated that the syndicate’s lawyers are following up on the case.
