Breakthrough in Lebanon’s amnesty law talks after Aoun meeting: Sources

Sources told LBCI that a meeting between the parliamentary consultative committee tasked with following up on the proposed general amnesty law and President Joseph Aoun was positive, with a primary focus on the issue of Islamist detainees.

According to the information, Aoun handled the file “wisely,” listening to the various viewpoints and acting as an “arbiter” without intervening in the details of the proposal, stressing that legislative work remains exclusively within the jurisdiction of Parliament.

During the meeting, all obstacles that had been hindering the approval of the proposed general amnesty law in the joint parliamentary committees were reportedly removed. The discussions also led to a formula aimed at preserving the prestige of the military institution while helping address grievances tied to the detainees’ cases.
