Episode Details

Lebanon just enacted its first amnesty law in over three decades, freeing thousands of prisoners—mostly those convicted of crimes before March this year—though murder and terrorism cases are excluded. Driven by prison overcrowding and years of pretrial detentions, the move also includes many Syrian and Palestinian detainees. Critics warn it’s politically motivated, eroding accountability, while others note even death row inmates could see reduced sentences. Loopholes around treason, espionage, and corruption raise further concerns as debates rage over its real impact.
