MP Samy Gemayel: Expanding general amnesty could free those who do not deserve it

MP Samy Gemayel affirmed his cooperation with everyone who has suffered injustice in prisons.

He said the general amnesty does not apply to everyone who committed killings, which is why he supported it, but that the scope of the amnesty was expanded during the discussions.

“We came to the conclusion that lifting the injustice from those who deserve it would also free those who do not deserve amnesty,” he said.
