Lebanon is preparing to introduce its largest amnesty in about 35 years, following the end of the country’s civil war in 1990. Multiple outlets report that the measure is expected to take effect in the coming weeks, once the required political approvals are completed. One account states that Parliament considers the amnesty and that it will require the President’s signature before it can proceed. While the government frames the move as a major legal and reconciliation step, some people are protesting against the amnesty, according to reports that highlight public opposition. Details on the specific scope of the amnesty—such as which categories of cases or individuals it covers—are not provided in the excerpts, but the reporting agrees on the overall size and timing. The amnesty is presented as the biggest since the civil war, and the current process centers on legislative and presidential approval, with demonstrations occurring alongside the consideration of the measure.
