Lebanon tackles Islamist detainees
Lebanon has begun implementing the amnesty law approved by the parliament, aimed at resolving the issue of detained Islamists who have spent many years behind bars without trial. It is expected that around 2,300 prisoners who meet the criteria will be released in the initial phase. The law has had a political impact, especially after the withdrawal of Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement deputies in protest against including individuals accused of killing members of the Lebanese army during previous incidents. Meanwhile, American General Joseph Clervil is conducting security and operational talks between Lebanon and Israel as part of U.S. efforts to pressure for the preservation of a framework agreement between the two sides, amid Israeli deadlock and Lebanon's decreased commitment to fulfill the demanded obligations.
