Deputy: Amnesties Enable Return of Lebanese "Refugees" in Israel
The Lebanese Parliament has passed a general amnesty law, the first of its kind since 1991, aimed at reducing overcrowding in prisons that hold thousands of detainees without trial for years. The law also paves the way for Lebanese who fled to Israel after the liberation of southern Lebanon in 2000 to return. The amnesty removes legal obstacles that had prevented their return for the past 15 years. This step comes after extended political efforts and support from various factions, affecting hundreds of families who had feared retaliation due to their association with the "South Lebanon Army," previously allied with the Israeli occupation.
