Libanul a decis abolirea pedepsei cu moartea, o premieră în Orientul Mijlociu

Lebanon's parliament has voted to abolish the death penalty, marking a historic first in the Middle East. This decision, praised by Justice Minister Adel Nassar, reflects a significant shift in human rights policy. The law stipulates that crimes committed before its enactment will result in life imprisonment instead. The move is expected to facilitate extradition requests from countries that have abolished capital punishment. Human Rights Watch has hailed this as a monumental step for human rights in Lebanon.
